I am working on my grassroots motorsport challenge car and want to take the windshield out of my car and want to do the mini windscreen. How do you make it???

Now that's where I'm confused. Is that .34 WITH or WITHOUT the flares?

no, with the flares it's like strapping two trash cans onto your quarter panels ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

btw. your tech-info listing was for a '69 914-6.
and the 914-6 did *not* have flares. i'd be interested to know what source that info came from ...

so, you really think flares would add more than 0.1 to the CD?
first of all, have you *ever* looked at a GT from the front?
i don't think so ...

the front is just as wide as the rear, so the rear flares don't add *anything* to the frontal area (which is how the CD is measured)

as you can see, the headlights add a whopping 0.017 to the CD.
now, correct me if i'm wrong, but looking at the headlights up compared to the curving of the flares, i'd say the headlights have *at least* the same surface area (frontal, remember?).

but even if we assume for a second that front flares are as "bad" as the open headlights, that would just add 0.017 to the base CD.

so, worst case, the GT would have a CD of 0.380. if that ...

unless of course, you were serious about those trash-cans ...
