Wow those picture make it look so simple, Wait till you try and explain how moving the tail lights up 3/4's of an inch makes a world of difference and how we came up with a spoiler that actually works on a convertible and it does not look like a whale tail.

Eric really has some good ideas and we work really well togther. You should see what we can do when Eric and I get to talking about spending Johns money on his car. That is when things really take off.

:D :D

Man that makes a HUGE difference!!! Nice design thought Eric. Don't let Rodger take any of the credit though... ;)

The trunk lid mod came out nice, looks clean and like it could have come that way from the factory.

Spoiled...........
 
Here are a few pics of the latest spoiler design. The spoiler mocked-up in the 27-February-09 pics was too big (but we had to start with something). A convertible needs a subtle spoiler, so we talked and.........

The guys at IRONWORKS whipped their cardboard, some scrap sheet metal, and some blue tape and came up with the following design.

Next comes the task of building the real one. Damn, these guys are good!

Yeah, but that design got improved when we decided to move the tail lights them selves and the reveal up .75 of an inch. Then we had it lookin good.

Tunnel Vision............
 
Update...........

Here are a few pics of the forward section of the tunnel. The goal is to maximize the interior space. Looks like I have a lot of room under the dash, but as we all know, it will get filled up. Check out the craftsmanship!

That last pic looks like your entering the tunnel for Pirates of the Caribean at Disney land.
