Hack Job time!

I desided that if I was going to really go ahead with the wheel well covers that I was going to
do it right with fiberglass and a clean finish to compliment the truck, or at least make it less noticable

So I desided to do a "test run" with some hack job skirts..
I want #'s first before I go ahead with the good stuff..

theres a metal support bridging the lowest section of the wheel well opening and its bolted in place..

the rest is duct taped to hell!
I also removed the tailgate..

this tank is going to be crap because I road raged on some dickhead that chucked a fast food soda at me as he swerved around me, So I popped it into 3rd, spun em and chucked my chocolate shake back at em, direct windsheild hit! Put them in their place.. Had to burn some carbon out anyways he was on my ass highbeaming me and honking while I was in the slow lane on a 3 lane freeway with nobody else in any of the other lanes, I was doing a solid 55mph..

I used Coroplast for the panels.. super light.. I didn't realize how cheap this stuff was..
So I went this route..
looks getteo as hell, I can deal with it for a tank or two (duct tape permitting)

Maybe this will help me gain back what I lost going WOT in it.. I'm at 1/2 tank now..
