[Weather Spotter]

a little update:

here is the frame on the ground




with the center supports added (note the bolted on tabs on the left ends)




Tabs in place just resting on the towing hitch cross bar.




Frame all bolted on before adding sheet metal:


For the ends of the frame that are on the tail I lag screwed them into the main support 2x4 of the tail.






While the paint on the sheet metal dried in the 95F and sunny day I took off the tire to work on the transition from wheel well to belly pan. this area was where my last attempt failed. I did nothing and snow built up and made the pan drag on the ground.















[here is the sheet metal coated with under body coat (what was oem in the wheel wells to start with

under side view from the back:




shinny areas are the paint reflecting the flash


Drivers side wheel well is a bit bigger on the inside to gain access to the fuel pump and stuff. it was easier to bend the metal into the needed shape as I had more open space to work with:




Opening that I need to close up to finish up my tail to car transition, this area was lacking when I built the tail so I fixed it right this time


I will try to get some more pics tomorrow, but I got some foam in the gaps on both sides and got a coat of fiberglass on them.

I think my first test drive will be my commute to work tomorrow. Unless there is a big improvement I will not be able to separate the LRR tires from the belly pan.

Questions?
