740 Wagon Rear Spoiler

is it the baby-little spoiler that clips on the tailgate or the big one that was on 940's? cuz I am looking for one myself

I think it was like a little Visor...It was noticable but it wasn't as large as the 855 wing. It still looked nice though.

I have a 740 turbo and was looking for one when I happened to come across an 855. Since then the 740 has been parked int he back yard out to pasture. It has issues. I had plans on converting the 740's rear to look like an 855. I have the Tail lights and all but never did it. The wing was the icing on the cake but I never found one. They are easy to make.

Do this:

Make a cardboard or MDF (medium density fiberboard like what a clipboard is made of) model or (FORM) much like you would if you were building a Wing on a Fuselage of a model airplane. Once you have the shape you want, cover the cardboard with Nylon cloth or speaker grill material. Then, use Fiberglass resin to cover the model. Once that hardens, use fiberglass body filler or Dynaglass, then Bondo. Sand to shape primer and paint. Be sure to Mold in Mounts when you are building the Form.

Go to ALPINE's Website and check out how to make forms and how they did their concept car.
