No luck with poop bay, I could only find a new copy for 99$ or a used one for 179$ on Amazon (seriously the used cost more....go figure).
If anyone has a copy I could borrow....I will make it worth your while.
Or is someone has a copy they want to sell I would be interested if the price was decent.
I more I think about it I have to agree that a graduated from narrow front end is not the best idea. It would surely increase surface friction up the nose. I guess what I am trying to learn is what is the most efficient nose that can be built on a car 5' wide without the limitations of front wheels or engine.
The main reason why I want to move the front wheels closer is because I can still maintain a good amount of steering ability and still have the wells covered.
I really like the nose on the Blowfish and the late model Camaro but they are designed with the motor and wheels where they are. I am not saying they are not perfect....they very well may be but I have the ability to do anything to the front and what know if I can surpass their aero ability because I don't have a front engine and can add about 4' in length to the wheelbase. I am about to undertake major car surgery and don't want to be a pissen' and a moanin' next year because I did not get it right on paper and have to do it again.
Thanks for the comments.
You have a lot of front overhang now in front of the wheels/tires. I don't thing the car has to be much longer just the wheelbase. Move the wheels/tires in so you can cover them like you suggested and then take the "idea" that the Blowfish front suggests and copy that.
Most opinions about the ideal shape is still the teardrop. Make the curve around the front side to side the shape of the bottom of the teardrop like was suggested in the post above. That will form the rounded shape you see on Blowfish. Then cut down into that from the cowl forward like they also did. That will get some of the air down the sides of the car and some over the top. I guess you will have to guess how much you want where.
They could have covered their tires and still be within the comp coupe rules, but I think style went before that decision. The little side flaps in front of the wheel-wells tried to overcome that, but still covering them would have been best and you can do that.
I'll try and find a picture I did for our Stude and the Yellow one and post it if possible. It is where I hope we end up eventually.
