Though I plan to still use the car for advertising, it's going to have less art on it. I'm going with the military livery from my old thread, but I'm leaving it bare metal, and will have the shark mouth and checkertail livery.
It looks like a cross between an F-86 and a P-40.
For years I planned to cover the front wheels.
I even thought of a similar approach to it like the RX-7 in this thread, but I don't weld, or have the means to.
I think the ones on this RX-7 are absolutely brilliant.
For now, I will duct from the (fake) ducts on the bumper to create air curtains for the front wheels instead.

The car I have is a rolling turd right now; so I'll post some updates on it's own thread when I polish it some more.

I really love the look of the wheel covers on this RX-7.
It really has the Bladerunner look.

C4Evermore : Not sure if you have seen this thread, but you may find it useful. It even has a pressure graph on your car posted about half way down : https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generati...scoops-498100/

I've loved the look of the 2nd gen RX-7s since I was a kid.
The car had a really low .29 cD - well .. at least untill the drag buckets were raised ( headlights )
Nice job on covering them.
