Rear wheel skirts mostly done

They still need a few finishing touches but they are at least functional. Wheel spats will be made and attached to the piece you see hanging down in front of the tire. I really wanted the skirts to extend all the way to the bottom of the part where the spats will be but it just turned out to be to complicated for now.

    Interesting project. Have you been doing mileage tests to see what kind of improvement these mods are making?

    Also, I noticed an 'oh by the way' - where the wheel skirt(s) intersect the rear-wheel 'spats'. There seems to be a pocket that could adversely effect the airflow. If you haven't already, you might want to consider additional shrouding, or venting so air doesn't get trapped, and increase drag.

    Good job!

    OOPS! My bad. I see now where you said you will be making spats to take care of the trap.

    Again good job, I will be following to see how you're making out.
