Here are a few pics of the ole' beater i just snapped with my phone cam, I already see what I will do with those mud guards. Remove and fabricate them for wind deflection in front of the tires! They are rubber and flexible, no wonder they didn't fall off already from bottoming out.*I need struts*. Before all that I need to fab an under body after I burn through about 3-4 tanks of gas I will starts the mods once I can get a base MPG figure and have the MPGuido!
I am sure just by removing all 4 of them I can get an extra 2 MPG or so on the freeway! From the looks of it if I remove them and switch sides in rear, put them in front of the tires they can deflect some air from hitting the tires. The body tapers inwards at the bottom and leaving more of the tire/wheel hanging out to catch air in the back
I will have to try it out but the front looks alright, so I may just have to do this for the rear and remove the fronts then get some MPG figures later.
Under body is not to bad but can use some paneling in the future.
Now looking for shocks and lowering springs.
