Most of the work I've done lately has been on my aquarium, not my car!


At this point in time, I'm getting ready to start carving foam into air splitters and boat tails to go in front of, and behind, my wheels. Then I'm going to see if I can find a shop nearby that does vacuum forming for a reasonable price.

My idea is to leave the foam inside for added rigidity. I'm also still trying to source some 5 or 6 inch rubber strips for a price I'm willing to pay to help close up the rear wheel arch, and to extend the proposed boattail/splitter pieces all the way down to within a couple inches of the ground.

Thank you for asking, I'll be back soon.
