When I got home from work a minute ago, I finally got out the floor jack and took a look under Turtle.

I sense some suspicious lack of aerodynamics concerning Turtle's lower shell!

Most of the aero panels are missing, and one of the rear panels got squashed pretty bad.

Also, no Fumoto valve, just the stock bolt. Everything else seems to be in pretty good shape otherwise for a car with over 200K

Hmmmmm . . . . . . . what to do about the panels!

And then it hit me! I had the perfect piece of aluminum to fabricate a front panel with! I have had this sign for years, it was attached to a piece of plywood, and after carefully removing it,
I now had a piece of aluminum that was already almost the perfect size for the panel!
