I guess I will focus on smoothing the bottom, perhaps fender skirts. I have seen a kurbmasrter with a dam on the front but my logic was telling me to eliminate as much frontal area as possible and duct air under, smooth the underside, who has thoughts on that. Anyone with any ideas on channeling the air with a side deflector that runs from the inside of the front tire to outside the rear. cheers fk
If I was still trucking and driving into a sunrise or sunset with one hand shielding my eyes while trying to row through a Road Ranger transmission I might want some kind of visor.
But it should be designed with physics in mind.
You can fool most of the people most of the time,but you can fool the troposphere none of the time.
