The front end so far.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Front air dam, partial grill block and filled hood/ bumper gap. I anticipate some good mileage gains from these modifications.
All the parts added this far are metal, mostly some old 5V tin roofing I had laying around from another project. There are a few pieces of 18 ga. galvanized but not much because it's harder to work with and complete overkill for these kind of modifications. Lots of pop rivets and a few screws holding it all together.
A hinged section I made in the center of the air dam because I like to be able to jack the front of the car up in the middle and my jack won't fit under the new addition.
Here you can see the jack just fits in the opening, there is a neo magnet on each side to keep the door closed. The magnets are mostly just there for cosmetic reasons so the door doesn't show when the car is sitting still, I'm sure air pressure would keep it closed at speed.
Still gotta do something to get those front tires out of the air stream.
