I like the "*****drumroll*******" !

Though I'm not an engineer, I will hopefully be doing some on road (real time) testing of wind flow/ air pressure differences over, under, and though a '70 std. Beetle this summer. Although the data will not be NASA quality, we are hoping to get a good idea of the air flow dynamics of a beetle as it travels down the road. I originally decided that I wanted to do this to find the best location to intake cooling air for the engine compartment (under car scoop, NACA ducts in the rear quarter windows, etc) as well as see if there is any advantage to cooling by changing the rear apron, engine tin, etc.
I'll be posting the raw data here, as well as any mockups, trials, etc.
Cheers,
Dave
