Spent some more time getting a feel for a front end. The real front end won't be so pointy, but I go the generally curvature that I wanted. Should be more aerodynamic and less air jammed between the vehicle body and wheel pods.

Next up, figuring out a fiberglass technique. I'm thinking foam insulation as has been featured on the site quite often, I'm just not sure how to attach the panels so that I can secure them with a few bolts and remove them for maintenance. seems hard to do with fiberglass.
