I own all my neighbors houses so I don't care what they think I am sure they think I am a bit strange but not that unusual for the area really considering this half of the state basically has no rules and regulations holding it down.

If I had time and motivation it would be interesting to mess with the numbers on that patent. Like figure out from those mileage numbers what the equivalent reduction in frontal area would be and if that matches up closely to the two 6 inch diameter openings on the last number in that table.

As an aside I also will have to do some coastdown testing and figure out my cd after I have the car done but there is no way I will be able to get a baseline so I will have to find someone else with a stock bodied convertible willing to do a coastdown to calculate the stock cd. Guess I should have done that before I started tearing the convertible apart but I didn't think about it.
