I just may do that. I've watched those yarn vids before and it really shows how counter intuitive aero stuff can be. The grille should make it easy to tie yarn too, and the GF crochets so our apt it covered in yarn anyway. Gopro on the windshield and some quick runs down the 'ol interstate wind tunnel.

More pics and updates to come as I finish and coat the hood, as well as mounted pics.
