Re: (cbstd)
I dont mind this style of scoop (right at the very start of the video - http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=a6yyJIg0FZY). It's very tidy I think. However I did see similar style but on much larger scale and it didn't look all that great to be honest.
I would just mock up different styles with cardboard, rest them on the car and pick your favourite.

I see two sedans in your picture but the size of them look different? Is it the angle of the picture or are they different cars? The two yellow ones on the left from page 1?

I would go for a shelby cobra type hood scoop. Since it's obviously not destined for DD duty, I don't see rain as much of a problem. Or a reversed type hood scoop (late 1970s Pontiac TransAm had these attatched to the air cleaner called shaker scoops), but a bulge would be the most subtle.
Just gorgeous..

Leo,
Great project, I bow down to your fabrication skills.
It look like you changed your mind on the rear axle, orginally you had a Toyota unit in there. Why the change?
Not that I know anything...
Why use double trailing arms? Wouldn't the lower ones be good enough?
Are you planning on using a rear sway bar?
On such a narrow axle, would a panhard bar be as good as a watts linkage?
What are you plans for controlling chassis twist?
Will you be tri-angulating the frame with a roll bar?
15" wheels...don't they look kind of large on that frame? You would get a lower center of gravity with a smaller wheel.
