I'm wondering about the inside of the wheel well, the outside body will get an Insight style covering. The rear wheels have no brakes so it has no constraints on air flow, it could spin in a vaccum if that were possible.

I've read through some technical papers, but nothing jumps out.
If there is water on the road, then you want to shed it off the tires asap, rather than let it come up inside the wheel well, so that argues for a tight inner fender well. Guess I won't worry about it. Got enough other stuff.

Doing the clutch slave cylinder now.
I got a GM hydraulic throw-out bearing, but it is a little too big unfortunately, so I'm rigging a normal external slave cylinder.
