The original base sketch has been undergoing some of the mark-ups in my ACDSee photo program. This has the green on it already. However, I'll do one big overlay over the whole thing.

The two schemes above differ in the way the rear fenders interact, and it is this "compression" of air and the flow which I'm playing with in my head. The former is very illuminati motor works-seven looking as Neil (you) pointed out earlier. The later is a return to the Mooncraft racing car approach.

The Mooncraft approach may actually cause more of a squeeze on the rear quarter air passage, but I'm currently debating that assumption between me, myself and I. I might go mad before I figure it out.
