Googone for the duct tape goo. I used it on my 1998 Civic paint job... no problems. In this vid, things look better. But I do see two things worth thinking about, in my mind. Looks like one tuft on the hitch box is being sucked down into the gap between the car and the box. Also looks like a few tufts at the end of the trunk lid are as well. Am I right? Also, gonna try a coast down test before building the Kamm? Seems prudent to invest that time before investing the time in fabrication.

But it's all really impressive! I'm hopefully going to get to do some testing myself today. I won't have video, but I hope to have interesting results and a pic of the rear box cavity I am testing.

Cheers!

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
