Yes. I just did a quick dirty job with Paint XP. I know the rear of the air foil needs to be tapered to a point, and the profile needs to be more like an airplane wing.
I like the idea of wheel pods.

Yeah, the Formica, or whatever, belly pan only needs to be flat. I thought of dropping it down in the middle to under the axle, but I think that extra frontal area would cause a higher CDA than just sealing the frame, and using an airfoil on the axle.
Do you think these additions are aerodynamically advantageous, or to much trouble for the return?
