how much of a gain could one expect to see by making a kamback on this car
Okay. I'll bite. One to two miles per gallon. That assumes 0.020 to 0.040 improvement in Cd.

I have a similar situation with my new VW Dasher. My intention is to make a Kammback similar to the upper piece on your Mustang. The top would be about the length of yours, but the sides would be angled to reach further down the sides of the liftback. I want to make it out of perforated metal*, but that would be a large piece.

*because reasons
