As points of reference, I would suggest the 2nd Generation Golf, where they rounded off the earlier square edge ....just enough. And Smokey Yunick's never-raced car. motortrend.com/vehicle-genres/12q3-1966-chevrolet-chevelle-grand-national-race-car/
Quote:
Since the car was designed specifically for Daytona, Smokey lavished most of his attention on aerodynamics. The front bumper was sectioned so it could be widened by two inches and lowered by one. Fenders were reprofiled to improve airflow. The inside of the wheelwells were reworked for the same reason. The chrome supporting the windshield and back glass was made perfectly flush. He beat on the center section of the roof -- the hammer marks are still visible -- while subtly recontouring the rear lip to create what he called a vortex generator....
