    EXTERNAL AERODYNAMICS

    Pappy - as always - Very Nice Work. Do you have a good source for the CF you can share? Looks as if the Viper piece runs just under the radiator and into the engine bay. I like how the forward tunnels appear to tie into the inner fender wells. All that pressure will be heading for your...

    Weight reduction: Running out of ideas.

    Excellent suggestion. (y) Until I figure out a satisfactory way to route coolant lines past/rearward of the halfshafts, I might look into trying to package a small radiator into the passenger fender, near the louvers (moving weight rearward and to the right), and then finding a narrower than...

    ...- steering this week. Then onto floors and wiring.] OK - back to CFD. Here is an interesting snapshot from a video selling fender louvers: Not a fan of the platform, but the information is very useful. If I can find some time, I'll try and replicate in CFD on a C3 platform. BTW, we all...

    Internal Body Aerodynamics

    There is a lot of interesting "stuff" happening in the Ferrari 396 video. Interestingly you can get smoke to streamline - but it gets all "messed up downstream - your guess may be correct - CFD adapted to a very high end graphic. Anyway here are my observations: The Yellow Streamline...

    Plastic Fantastic 2

    I'm liking the idea of the low mounts mounted to the roof line just aft of the T-tops. Ok sounds weird - I know. There was an American that (as I recall) was working in Italy. He got a Lamborghini Mura, and felt it need a bit of work. Here is a picture of some "Nice A55!" I suppose...

    Hey Jim, This is a stock Gen V ACR-E, identical to mine except for the stripes. It belonged to William Hubble, owner of Hubble Racing in South Florida. He died in Feb at an early age of Parkinson's. He had 2 IMSA GTP Corvettes and a couple of Lambo race cars. It does have a full belly pan...

    Plastic Fantastic 2

    This year they have someone whose entire job is judging wings (last year, it was simply part of the function check (lights, signals, etc).... rule is highest point is no more the 8" above the deck, no wider then the stock fenders, and no taller then 6" below the roofline - all I know is the...

    Plastic Fantastic 2

    Another pic of the blue (Previous) edition. Note the scoops on the flying buttresses. Not on the Gold. Wonder if they dropped them as they were not efficient - or some classification rules? Maybe I'll reach out to them via YT. Meanwhile, the Blue at Hockenheim: They've made some slick...

    Amazing XKE RestoMod-Sanding and more Sanding 7/15/26

    Back To The Bonnet Having taken care of two major areas of concern, the rear fenders and the doors, I returned to the bonnet. As previously documented, all the metal work repairs have been done, it's hinged and sitting well. But it's far from complete. On the job list are covered headlight...

    Internal Body Aerodynamics

    No joy on TinEye... Who's posting? Some interesting aspects there. But, a "helper mirror?" Also PAX Side louvers look "Off." Oh - found it! It is a "Rocket Bunny" one-off kit. (But listed on renderings pages- hmmm)...

    Internal Body Aerodynamics

    I think the concept is pretty good. One of the better looking c4’s I’ve seen. Probably the biggest aero benefit is it covers extra wide wheels.

    Internal Body Aerodynamics

    I like that, looks retro and modern at the same time. Stock C4's are pretty tired looking these days. Is that a concept or an actual car?

    Internal Body Aerodynamics

    There is some information to be learned with a rotating wheel in the case - for sure. NOTE: the effectiveness of the wheel "Spats" on the flow around the wheel in any case. With the addition of air curtains - some significant evacuation could also be effected. Also, with the open fender (at...

    ...pods of my SR. Garden-variety edging - literally. It bends easily enough and you can not worry about getting curb rash. Hood and fender louvers - easy enough - and you can still get the fiberglass ones I bet from Ecklers (etc). But the best hood louvers I've seen are on Aaron's ride...

    If I thought I would ever do anything with this, I would........

    They don't look like molds. Look at those fender panels: they are smooth & if you put cloth & glass on them - the inside of the new fender would look great - and the outer rough. They are the opposite - they should be the negative. Unless you used them to make mold & then make parts. That is...
