I finally finished the shaping of my foam aeroshell and used my rasp and sandpaper to finish marring up the surface so the epoxy fiberglass will be able to bond to it. Carried the shell back outside and got a few mock up shots of it on the truck. The shell then went into my garage so that I can begin putting the epoxy fiberglass on it. (Too much odor for inside.) Overall I am satisfied with how it is turning out.
My fuel log has been lower than normal recently because I removed my half shell and have not had time/motivation to reinstall it knowing I have to take it back off to test my V2 full shell. There is a noticeable difference in lift on the rear axle at speed without it on there. I consider this extra motivation to get the full shell done, unfortunately with competing priorities my time to work on this is limited.
Anyway, pictures. I did the requisite AST-II overlay, which while was not done from far enough away to a good side profile at least shows I have not drifted too far off from correct.
