If you don't have Flow Illustrator download it here. PC only at this point. Be sure to set Incoming Velocity to 120 and Viscosity to 45.



Let's start here.

*I have made every effort to make these accurate, including the underbody. Though I have traced them over blueprints, they will not be exact.

1988-1994
Suzuki Cultus/Swift
Geo Metro 3dr hatchback


1988-1991
Honda CRX


1969-1978
Nissan Fairlady S30
Datsun 240Z/260Z/280Z


1964-1966
Ford F100 styleside shortbed


1988-1992
Ford Probe, modified with grille blocks, air dam and partial belly pans


TO USE THESE:
Save them to your computer. Open that file in a program like MS Paint (it will be a JPEG-unusable in Flow Illustrator). Make your modifications. Save as 24 bit Bitmap (BMP).


If you'd like a side view of your car, let me know the year, make and model, number of doors etc. and I can whip it up for you.

For help with the shape of kammbacks and boattails, scale this aero template so the ground is at the ground plane and the top of the template is at the highest point of your car.
