@ Ecofreak. Thanks for the advice, i am planning on taking it slowly. the kammback that is on the stock aspire is designed to promote a cleaner separation at the roof/ rear hatch transition. this is a pretty good technique for cleaning up a location where sharp changes in direction are inevitable, however a boat tail system would significantly clean the rearward flow. I am planning on replacing the rear hatch with a boat tail, so the DOM skeleton is for rigidity, I work with DOM at my job, and can readily get scrap for my project, so it is super strong, safe (we use it to make roll cages) and for the most part free for me. I'm working on making some models of the car to test it in a mini wind tunnel, to prove my theories in scale. the reason for this is my last project, the van has made me want to lean towards a more scientific method of testing and a more finished style of construction.
