Yeah that seems to be the ideal approach, especially with an added rear diffuser. I see lots of tuft testing once the rough shape is built.

So I ordered 2-part polyurethane foam this morning. My plan is to try and pour 2 or 3 times to form a somewhat rigid single foam block. I believe this approach will cut down on the time needed to carve out the desired shape/taper. It involves more preparation prior to the pour, but the result will be cleaner.

For the time being, I will build a rigid box, between the tail lights. Once the 2-part foam is received, I will proceed to fill the side tapers and the upper part all the way to the third brake light.

I will include a drawing later this evening.

Cheers.
