Cheaper Coroplast?
I went to Home Depot, pretty nice size coroplast for only $5
This was a lot cheaper than I had ever seen before for its size...
First thing I did was get some to fit on my hermit crab tank, next up, upper and lower grille block goes back on!

We all know recycling is bad for the economy.

I think the next major mod will be a bell pan for the Hotrod.
It's UGLY under there!

Free coroplast
I wanted a bunch of coroplast for an experiment and got it for free by contacting politicians and asking for their old signs.

I did the same, but "volunteered" to help clean them up. I got 3 full sheets on my ride home. I should do it again.
