Hey everyone, I'm converting a 1969 Datsun mini-truck from gas to battery electric and so I am in some serious need of aero-tuning. I've got some sane and some crazy ideas. Hopefully we can flesh some of these ideas out on the forums.

That sounds like a neat idea to me. I owned a 1970 PL521. There are plenty of others here who will have ideas for you. __________________ Darrell Boycotting Exxon since 1989, BP since 2010 Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?
