It's much more ninja than my preliminary block.

I'd like to emulate that belly pan with coroplast, perhaps. Guess I'll have to find a sign shop in the STL area...or maybe support an elected official.

What kind of aluminium is this? I didin't find any at the home depot.

By the way, good job with the belly pan an the block, it looks great. Are you planning to make flaps on it to open it on warm trip?
