Pan #8
Pan 8 is in, will need some trimming but it’s done for tonight. Decided to use a straight ramp going down to the differential level on this side, instead of the concave ramp I used on pan 7. I like it a lot better and I think the air will like it better so tomorrow I’ll re-do pan 7 the same way.
Cut some 4X4’s and picked up the rear of the vehicle a little so I don’t completely destroy my neck. With it up higher in the air I could see the level of the gas tank behind the differential. The air will now go from the coroplast, past the rear axle, and then arrive at the gas tank at the same elevation as it left the coroplast. Ramp 7 was quite a bit above the level of the gas tank so it would have to go from the coroplast, go past the rear axle, then drop down about 2 inches to the gas tank level and continue on back. I think this will allow for much smoother airflow. There’s some uneven areas by the duallies, but I think I can blend that in when I build the wheel fairings.
Tomorrow I’ll redo pan 7 and start on the transition from the rear side of the differential back to pan #10. The critical area will be going from the gas tank level back up to pan #10 at the rear, which is about 3 inches above the gas tank level. That area is a pain to get to, but it’s the last one! Yeah!
