I can probably help you out on that front... you want to make a 3d model to
run wind tests on?
Also re: your other questions.. in the UK there used to be several
suppliers of fiberglass front wings and rear wings.
On the harrington/fastback bodywork... the Kamm tail alpines that ran at LM
with the stock hardtops were actually faster in a straight line than the
special closed nose harrington that won its class.. so closing the bodywork
between the fins is a good idea.
The LM Tigers initially had lift on the rear end until they added the small
detachable spoiler/flap.
Look at Jackie Chochrain and Chris Beightons racers in the UK.. they have
added a large gurney flap/spoiler betwen the rear wings to hold the backs
of the cars down but still keep s the stockish loo of a sunbeam.
