Next thing I added was front skirts, from left over pieces of the Ford hood. I mocked these up in coroplast to fit around the bumper first then traced to sheet metal, then tack welded, cut and fit, and finished.



This was glued and a couple screws to hold it, incase the glue fails



You can see the exit came out good, about 5/8". Front scoop is pretty big because of the bumper transition, I may close it in a little later. The skirt side pieces fit attach between the upper and lower bumper. Being steel, I just jammed them in there between body panels with some elastomeric type glue and a screw for security.



I then closed in the front wheel openings with coroplast and more sheet rock steel corners and added the side dam under the car to guide the flow from getting sucked under the car. It all lined up pretty good. Spray bomb matt black.



Last thing I did was some ghetto window tint for summer to keep the temps down so I could drive without air conditioning.
