Nice update. And this is a great pic. Question: is this really the template angle from the profile? Your spoiler seems so high at its tail end. How many degrees? How many inches above the trunk lid?

I'd say don't ABA test it until you have the vibrations solved. A premature test would be unnecessarily frustrating. I saw the vibrations you describe in my tests with coroplast too. That too was a reason to quit until I could improve my skills. I want to build fiberglass, though I understand your reluctance. My method to build some skills: finish my mirror delete in fiberglass, then finish the larger lower/upper grill block project, then finish the wheel-well skirts, which I want to make look really good... then maybe I'll be ready for fiberglass side-panels on a lexan-windowed kamm back.

Thanks for the update.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
