Dave,

That box is going to try to fly at speed anyhow . . . . so what would a wing hurt? It'll get your nose up quicker, and you'll probably need a shorter runway to get airborne.

Seriously though, are you going to go fast enough to need downforce to keep the tires planed at the high end?

Not sure how crazy I will get in the horsepressure department, but yeah, it'll be well in excess of 100 mph in the quarter....my experience with a deck wing on my Mavericks' was that the wing off the deck lid actually begin generating downforce at about 90 mph...Measured very unscientifcally with pictures and video from the "big end" of the strip---My Super Gas Mav tripped the big end timer at 136-142 mph.... Don't know that the Bronco will be a Super Gas car, but then again.....I might not be able to resist the temptation of a big horse in it....

Still going back and forth between a stroker Windsor or a supercharged mod motor---either of which will generate 400+rwhp....

You aren't gonna "need" a spoiler until about 100 mph, but stylewise it might work anyway. I'd fill those big windows in, sedan deliveries are cool.

yup, definitely gonna be a sedan delivery.....


at 2500 pounds, 31" tire, and 425 hp it would quarter mile in the 10.20's to 30's at about 125 to 135 mph depending on the gearing..... Again, not saying I'll build it that fast, but it's easier and cheaper to build stuff in then add it on...........

Even if you don't completely fill the windows in, I'd lower the tops of the windows down to the same height as the door windows (filler panel for the radius in current glass).

The Winged Express's wing was pretty much right over the cockpit and of course it was a roadster. I think a wing on the Bronco in a similar location would be way kewl.
