Ray,

I have seen the very thing that you are talking about.

Alvin on this Forum - see his 'Post' on engine oil has made one up. perhaps PM him and he maybe able to give you his thoughts on how it works.

Hi Leigh

I think a piece of flat Marguard will work OK. The screen only curves in one plane so it shouldn't be too hard to form. I'll see how I go just curving it round and attaching it to the angle.

On the individual areo screen I reckon I'll take you up on the oven offer. I think it'll be a bit more complicated shape, potentially with the mounting flange molded in.

Cheers

Mike,

Really love the aero screen idea but am concerned how the committee for the Nationals and Shelby Fest would view this style of screen. You probably dont need the streamline advantage cause your powered by the Dark side

but I think it would be good to get some feed back from Shelby Fest committee..

The initial responce from the NSW guys is you would be in race class

even though the regs say you only need a "street legal windscreen".

We could always have a street class for aero screened cars

. Just have to buy another couple dozen trophies

(with apologies to Trading Places)

Didn't happen to make two did you?

Might I suggest when it comes to the individual Aero Screens that you plan for a run of them - I'm pretty sure that there will be a few of us ex-bikers out there who like the 'wind in the face' effect.

On the Nationals/Shelby Fest category thing - I'm keen to participate but I'm not building for a category.

I'm sure that the organisers will use common sense - very confident of that at the Shelby Fest having seen it run - and will categorise my car fairly.

I'm not too worried about classes at the nationals or Shelby Fest. I doubt I could drive well enough to win a trophy regardless of class. I'll just be out there for a good time.

Cheers
