Maybe this might simplify some things or for reference... I took 1/2" 90* alum, bent it inwards giving my clearence around wheel, and hammered out the ends flat drilled a hole than tapped into the bodywork pinching a pad in place to prevent scratching/wear. Then used a one of those thin brace pieces and at the time taped it against the body and ziptied to the horizantal brace.
I realize now, i could have bent that piece in and pinched the lip of the wheel well arch. and waste less tape. Then i layd a thin plastic poster over the skelton struture, and taped to the car.. Now i also realize, if I had form holding material + the pinched brace idea, i could of had a removable panel that would only take removing 2 screws and wala!

(imagine the battery cover of a remote. Slide into grooves on one end, then snap shut, or secure with a screw at the other)
