Unfortunately some issues have been keeping me driving the Mustang.

Now my tanks are going by much faster

I built a rear panel, but found that it was way too short and could not be made efficiently. Here is my prep for my new, inspired by Jedi Sol, build.



Total cost is $137.19. I bought a lot of extra pieces because I am not solid on my mounting points yet.



The bold pieces are the joints. Six on the main portion, four on the rear. Middle is 6x4, rear is 4x4. EMT tubing, 1/2 inch. The lighter rings on the base are the hose clamps that will keep the sheet to the frame. The outer rings refer to my known mounting points of the fully assembled pan to the vehicle itself. There will be more, these are my current known points.

Again, this was inspired by Jedi Sol and a few other threads on other forums. For reference on excellent diffuser builds, check this out: DIY Rear Diffuser : The Writeup - NASIOC
