I made the top foil today.
Used duct tape to cover the bodywork I glued pink and blue board on with two part poly foam (It is similar to foam in a can but stiffer and easily sandable.). Did a bit of sanding and shaping. It has about an average 5 deg slope. We covered it with a 25 oz layer of triaxial carbon and covered that with a peel ply.
I am going to mount the lower foil on struts on the trunk lid. Obviously I won't use bricks. When the trunk lid is open the lower foil will come above the upper foil. Keeping the trunk fully usable.
Here is a pic before the carbon was layed up.
If anyone wants to guess how high the rear strut should be I would appreciate it.
