Dihedral wings are sweet

Or at least they look cool -


Whether or not I'd use one or keep the whole front wing in ground effect is yet to be determined. I'll have the option. Currently this is a specialized high-lift airfoil profile which I happen to like. As I mentioned before, the original "wing" layout was entirely placeholder based on the original 312B-x cars. Changing that a bit.

Modifying the front end of the body with a lateral cut out, effectively raising (and closing) the nose giving some room for a full front wing, and also creating a dam. Keeps the same lines as the original car though. That, the new front wing assembly, and a new rear wing assembly are on the to-do list for tomorrow.
