This is just a fantastic forum! Being quite the newb, forgive me if I'm on the wrong thread. I need some advise and I know that it'll be freely if not copiously given. I like it already!

We've got a '74 that, at the moment, is in pieces. It's a street/track (little more focus on the track) baby that is getting some minor additions to help with high speed stability. One is the addition of a rear wing. There are two choices. As you can see from the pics, it's not pretty but at this point that's not the point.

What do you think about aerodynamics/functionality and also aesthetics?

Phoenix - that may be. I never met Tyson tho' I know of him from guys that ran out there (he used to work on some of the 911s out there when he was in LA before going to WEVO) but he mentioned digging my car one time on the bird board. I never got to run the full tube car there with those guys tho' (I ran on a test and tune day about a month before moving to CO).

found this link about the COT splitter to give some of you guys ideas (maybe). Notice that pretty much exactly as Joe has done (and typically the rule of thumb), the splitter extends out about even with the bumper length. As stated, I started a bit shorter (which you can argue is stupid on my part as I could have easily removed material to a slight plow v. the impossible adding of mat'l - I don't always think everything completely thru hahahaha)
