I agree in principle. My no-cost material is a few sheets of masonite based paneling. Pretty stiff. A 36" radius is as tight as I dare bend it. Compound curvature is not possible. I'm doing what I can with free material. Every 1 mpg (6%) gained only saves 10 bux in gas. With a life expectancy of 1 trip I cannot justify throwing any money at this project. The only reason I'm spending time is because it's fun and all experience is good.

PS- If anyone wants a free trailer box that looks like crap and smells like pee (feline no less) all you have to do is come get it!
