I know that people have modified many cars (and motorcycles) in an attempt to improve aerodynamics strictly to improve mpg.  As opposed to the original intent for the Aero Cars to make them go faster but actually must have improved mpg also.  Here is one site with one person's ideas: http://www.aerocivic.com/ .  I think there was a story in Popular Mechanics about somebody who made an aerodynamic motorcycle and got 300 mpg or something.  I think the guy in the Civic can push 100 mpg.

[djcarguy]

very interesting info on mpg,and areo mods for mileage.i always have one car for mpg and putting most of the miles on.my 85 nissan gets 36 mpg when not loaded down with a v8 or trans in place of pass. bucket.  sentra 2dr for mpg and getting the hell out of town allot after the divorce w/wo the kids back then,still a great little boom around car... well have gas must go,hahahaha
        but with this car mpg is not only goal it is a look iam after.

thanks very much ,hemigeno for posting my pics. thing is they were both scanned in as same size ??the smaller one i call dartona supertpless as the rear seat cover is styled after the super charger.cowl hood was not my top pick but was a fast thing to see what it would look like and contrast to other image.odd color on front fender was a fast cover up of stain,spider guts...
           both pics have rear stripe cut and added from other pics and pieces cut,added or colored from real paper.i did a lime dartona with top lowered and charger sail panels and big back tires. did a blacked out view with charger tail and super charger style..

WHY WONT RED TOPLESS PIC TRANSFER?

Because it's a separate attachment to that post, not a part of the post itself.  That's how all photos are uploaded to the site initially (offsite photo hosting like photobucket, etc. is another way, but those photos are not kept on the forum's server).  After that initial uploading, they can be "linked" or inserted into other threads directly as opposed to being a redundant attachment of the same photo.

Try right clicking on the photo's title at the bottom (which you've already found) and click on "Copy Shortcut".  You can then insert the image into a post by typing in [*img][/img] (every character shown in red type just as it appears, except without the * which I inserted to keep the forum software from thinking I am trying to insert an image right there), then place your cursor between the two opposing brackets ][, and paste the shortcut/link you copied in the earlier step.  You can also click on the little framed picture icon, the second icon from the left in the second row of shortcut buttons, which will automatically type in the [*img][/img] syntax and place your cursor right where it needs to be in order to paste your shortcut/link.

For the record, here is the shortcut/link from the photo you're trying to copy
http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=77890.0;attach=146462

Incidentally, DO NOT try to hotlink this picture to another website using that link... that is stealing bandwidth and is frowned upon severely.  If you want to save a picture, just right click on it, and go through the normal "Save Picture As" steps to put it on your own hard drive.

To show that it can be done the way I've explained, here is the copied photo using the above steps:





Why is this picture so important?  

[djcarguy]

        the red topless above is what i started with.sure looses lot of color in print and rescan back into the canfuusan box.  i scaned the lime dartona for one stripe and a red daytona with black stripe for other view.than cut out and taped and glued stripes on. was for fun and to see different looks...




     thanks for help loading pics,hemigeno.... and only wish they were more same size or big one was smaller,thanks..


   PLEASE IF YOU JUST HAVE LOTS OF HATE OR NEGATIVE BULL TO SAY ,,,,,PLEASE DONT ,,,THANKS.DJCARGUY

  THERE HAS BEEN 5 GUYS OR SO AND ME WITH IDEA OF CUSTOM DART WITH WING AND MODS,THANKS AGAIN.

[DonC1]

I like the above one the best DJ..clean lines...keeps it simple! I plan to build one too:)

[kab69440]

I've thought for years that a Dartona would be an awesome project. It's why I saved the depressions out of my Charger hood when I grafted the power bulge into it. If you're serious about doing it, I'll donate them to the project.

You mean this picture?



I call it the Dartona!!! 

In the photoshop thread I stated I seen the Aussie dart also and fell in love with it, the Dart name blends nicely to the Daytona name.

Always wanted build one...just didnt know how or waht materials would be best suited for the nose cone and the wing, the one thing I do know is I think a 69 Dart would be best suited because the location of the rear side markers lens would look better in the rear srtipe.
The fenders would be from a 70-71 Dart, because of the their use of a headlight bucket extentions, Don't need them, and the use a 74 hood it ends in front just about where the front edge of the fenders end (excluding the buckets)

I planned on using 94 Olds Cutlass headlamps to pop up , they are shorter in height less weight and pivot point at the rear. ( more stable)

The nose and wing maybe fiberglass with some aluminum reenforcement.

WELL THANKS FOR POST AND OK TO USE DARTONA STRIPE.AM WORKING ON MY WING AND REAR SEAT COVER.  HOPE YOUR STILL PLANNING A DARTONA.THANKS
