Accident damage fixed; got the car back this past Thurs. I only lost one weekend I could have worked on the belly pan but it was so COLD I was happy to stay inside!

Anyway, this weekend I built the third major section of the belly pan - from the end of rocker panels to the rear bumper. Took pics but they're not uploaded yet.

This was the only section where I found I needed stiffeners or framing. I used (2) 1" x 1/8" x 6' aluminum stock from hardware store. Paid about $10 each, probably would be less at Home Depot. Stiff enough to stay put, but bendable so you can make the panels curve up/down a bit to scoot under exhaust components.
