Hey, I know its a river barge and that it is as areodynamic as a jackfruit...but it was free!
So, I decided to start a thread on the future progress of the aerobarge, and look forward to feed back other than its not possible to get 40mpg.

The above image is a render of what im aiming for, however the lowering of the car is not to scale.
I figured a partial wheel covering would help without requiring a fender skirt, or would it be best to continue it down as far as i can? Or else, could it be possible to use wheel flares on either side to combat air resistance?
I haven't been under the car as of yet so im not sure about a full lenght belly pan.
One of the suggestions was to get rid of the spare and jack, but I am uncomfortable with driving on long trips without a spare. I thought about mounting a compact spare, under the car, inbetween the belly pan and the trunk floor....(?) thus increasing trunk space as this car will mainly only be used for long distance trips.
planned changes for the near future are:
- hot air intake
- underdrive pulley
- 3.08 to 2.76 rear end swap
- frontal belly pan
