Good points. Metro, I will make the wheel skirts first then decide about the cover. Tony She is drafting on the VW. The trucks were running 70.

Kind of getting off the aero theme but you have a good point Cobb. What kind of mileage were you getting?
I have thought about the mechanical fan. It has at least 7 blades. I am a bit concerned about running an electric fan full time. It only has a 65 amp alternator with probably a lot of hours on it. I have an unused antenna switch which might be used to manually control the fan.
