semi rigid belly pan easy off mod

I have been mulling over the design of a belly pan that would be an easy install/removal, and easy to store. I have come up with a design to try and just finished my first test for it.

my idea is to attach ratchet straps to the frame in the engine compartment. from there the straps will run under the enginecompartment and tread through slits cut in coroplast panels. the ratchet straps terminate at the rear of the vehicle.

the strap will weave up and down through the coroplast about every 4-6 inches . no tapping needed no screws no access holes. it is so easy to remove and install.

I tested today by driving 200km with the straps installed. no problem, no melting, no flapping . next I will cut coroplast and test with that
