Thanks, friend.
For a work-in-progress project car, I don't think appearance would matter THAT much. I've seen project cars there that aren't shiny at all, and not even finished by a long shot. Maybe wash it if it has caked on dirt? Just put a big sign on the windshield, "43 MPG. Paid $x000." or something. And be ready to talk it up a bit. People will want to know how you do it.
I don't worry about the people who walk past my car. If I talk fuel economy with a handful of people in an evening, I think that's a win. The more the merrier.
