BTW, how does one go about making a strong stable, durable bullet nose? Perhaps I'll have to study the Aero Civic thread.  |
I assumed that by " bullet nose " we were talking a
half bullet nose, such as a Corvette, a Firebird, a Saturn SC coupe, or the car on page one.
Cars with bullet noses such as the Avion will of course have more of the air flowing
under the car.
