The first build might be an agressive looking Kammback like i beleive "Kims CRXHF" if i'm correct; to test the durabilty of the structure. But will evolve to a full boat tail.

Do you know of any mounting points underneath the back of the car where i could attach two beams made of wood for the underbody support structure of the tail? It would have to allow clearance for the bumper as i do not intend to remove the stock plastic bumper? It would have to be an easy way to attach the two side structural beams cause i cannot weld. Lashing maybe?

That is the final piece i need to figure out in the planning stage.
Sheepdog,

Take a look starting at:

http://ecomodder.com/forum/179658-post2.html

.... and read through the text and pictures and study carefully.

There is hopefully enough information there for you to duplicate my mounting system in wood.

Jim.
