minor update

I'm still not used to all the weird looks I've been getting. I've driven right by a few cops and none have seemed to have a problem with it. Being black definitely makes it blend in fairly well so it's really only noticeable when I pull up to an intersection where everyone can see it.

Today I got to working on the rear wheel skirts. The final version obviously wont be made of cardboard, but this let me get a feel for how low I could make the skirts. I'm going to eventually have side skirts and rear wheel boat tails, so I think I could make the bottom edge of the skirts go a lot lower, but for now, this should do.



For now they are attached with just the tape. so I guess I'll find out if tape is adequate or not.
