Tuft testing and coastdown testing are coming soon I have to wait for our rainy conditions here to improve and tweak a few aero mods (seal the front gaps, form-fit the rear skirts, etc.)

I'm hoping for a Cd of 0.25

Aerohead, I have decided to make the boat tail out of all metal. The frame will be very similar to redneck's, but it will be covered with thin sheet metal. The back will have a plywood piece for mounting the new lights and license plate. I have decided to build the tail at 85% of the template length, which should give me over 90% of the effect that a full tail would.
