What's the difference in the bottom two images? What makes the last one better by .048?
The gray shading suggests plan taper. It's the difference between E and F in that previous chart.

Edit: I just noticed the previous question.

No idea what all ^that^ means.

Van is 85" tall from ground to rooftop.
What's the width? I was taking it for 85". That ground reflection thing doesn't respect the way air works. Frontal area doesn't include the air that moves under the car. So it should be 85 less average ground clearance.

That Vanagon's hatch won't open much. Do you have double doors in the back?

FWIW, here's a model I made for a van I used to have.
