Hey Jay, just wondering if anyone has ever put in a ground effects tunnel down the passenger floorpan to get downforce instead of using a wing out back? I've never seen one used (like the Indy cars run), and I know it wouldn't be optimal because of the rear end and engine, but it might be worth trying :-).

It's great to see a top-shelf (I did not say "crust" ) Buick build planned and come together. Since it's a guessing game for the viewers as of now: guessing it'll get a clutch... maybe alcohol?

Good luck.

You've come a long way Jay. gone are the days of the gutted cat and the paperclip TCC lock up
