LOL Frank, was not my intention. This is exactly why I love posting about stuff like this on these boards. You can toss an idea around and get a lot of different insights to the benefits and complications of a scenario.

After all this talk I've decided to stick with a traditional steering system and will probably just design a part that attaches to the steering system that fills in the wheel wells at the body to smooth airflow.

I might consider making the wheels internal, but probably won't because it would require a larger wheel base/more frontal area. No sense killing the all the benefits of shielding the airflow from the wheels.
