Dam you will prob have to have a dedicated 6v source for some things still. Motors, Gauges except amp.

Using a motor speed controller on brush motors solves the 6 to 12 volt issue. They $20 apiece. I tested one on a 6 volt fan motor and works perfect. Get infinite speed control.
 
Got my engine to the builder, so glad I strapped it down good because he hooked a boom to it, took load off with chain fall, unbolted all stand bolts and it took a good swing into the side of the HD rental trailer lol!

Engine shop was in Sedro Woolley so I mentioned that power outage that was a car/pole on Saturday, they knew about it and had more details. *** hat in a Mustang doing 100 mph and didn't know the road ended. I guess when he saw the cross road with no way forward, hit the brakes or whatever and the car hit the guy wire backwards, that's what flipped the guy over the hot lines. Whoops!
 
Of all of the renditions, I love this one. Hodge podge of super bird, daytona, modern stock car and computer design. I am literally thinking about this nose and a wing.

I could see that. Maybe tweak the aero a bit more?
a. Wouldn't that recessed flat screen look like a brick wall at high speed?
b. Need more surface area on the wing? and then spoiler (more cow catcher shape) to help keep the front down?

In that rendering, the tip of the nose is about 12" off the ground. The blunt nose isn't that bad. I'd cover the air inlet on the nose, or as much as possible. Some air needs to go under, but it need to be very high speed. The rear wing is more about the uprights and stability. Downforce is a very gentle balance. Too much is drag and slow. All about just enough without drag. Better to add ballast.

A stock Daytona nose had almost 1200lbs of LIFT from air easily going under. To get diwnforce, they added the spoiler under the nose. Changing the location, added and removed the downforce it added. NASCAR had certain measurements needing to be met. There is a 300mph Daytona at Bonneville that has a spoiler straight down from the nose leading edge to the ground.
