I could also lose the stock deck lid and use it's mounting points to be really solid.
Four tubes will define the DLO, two will lay along the drip rail and some extra straight pieces will bring up the rear. I've curved some composite panels for filling down to diffuser level. Possibly 18" extensions to a trailer hitch for the bottom since I have one.
Keep me posted on the rescheduling; I'm almost out of debt [again].

I've got one more brake disc replacement/wheel bearing clean-pack just to get back where I was 12-days ago.I'll do that tomorrow,then I can get back to mods.I'll be into another income cycle before long,which will help.
Deadlines only seem to create unnecessary stress,so I'm gonna just work 'til I'm within spittin' distance of being ready, then we can talk to Layne at Darko and see what their schedule looks like there.
Gary has warned me about snow issues,since I'll be doing a bunch of mountain passes.Gumby's got to get in from Montana.No telling what you'll see comin' in from the Pacific NW! Wyoming got snow the other day!
Nobody needs to be sliding off the road.
And I don't want to really do any snow-plowing with the aero mods.
I'll see what I can get done over the next 2-weeks.It's a lot of time for fabrication if I don't have to back-track again.
PS I hope your brakes don't look anything like mine after Bonneville! I had to use a angle grinder with metal cutoff discs for an hour to separate the 1st disc from the hub. It looked like a Civil War relic dug up from Gettysburg!
