Bingo! Dan Gurney was tall and generally an open wheel driver. Ford hired him to drive the GT 40 Ford with AJ Foyt in 1967 to win Lemans. They had to build him a bubble.
Corvette Specialty built mine. They are in Riverside Ca.
I am 6' 4" and 400 lbs.

I am old enough that I watched the race on ABC.

APR Performance.

They know all the tech details on aero packages, I just know it gives me down force and handling. I am able to pull 1.8+ lateral G's with good slicks on the car.
The car has a custom built splitter on the front, the canards on the front bumper and the wing on the trunk lid.

You can also get a diffuser fro the rear.

It is the standard V1 visor clip on my C6, just clipped into the WS molding, puts it up as high as it can go ...

The bump allows room for the ladies head when she's sitting on your, a a lap, in the driver seat.

You obviously know nothing about road racing and aero.

Take it to the track and out of the garage and learn something.

That's awesome man. Nicely done, very tasteful.

The only thing to learn here, they weren't even talking about your post.

I like the shaved door handles and side markers look but the missing side mirrors, while look great, I could never drive it without the side mirrors. Not around the greater SF Bay area anyway.

Does look cool though for a show car.
