EV1 (again?)

Honestly, I have no idea if this file has ever been linked here, but I'm looking to copy the curves of one of the EV1's rear wheel skirts and found this so I'll add it for your post-Christmas check of your boards.

Here is the raw link:

And here is the img, which is much larger, with readable text, on the host site:

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.

No old car would stand up to current crash testing.
