This is something I'm curious to watch, so subscribing.

I think your best bet without spoiling the lines of the car are the undertray and full moon hubcaps. You can also pull a few stunts like run narrow section tyres (like it probably came out with, actually), and maybe make half rear wheel covers (like the caddy's used to have way back when).

The front bumper is *way* higher than the lowest point between the wheels, so there is no harm with some kind of lip/spoiler/skirt there.

Rear window is tricky. I think some kind of 'sun shade' could be fashioned that is smooth, rather than the abrupt transition to the rear glass, somewhat like a 'kamm back' but not as long. Someone previously mentioned this.

Back to the tyres, are you going to be running high efficiency tyres?

And what mpg did the chevelle get stock, with its most economical engine?
