I have seen something more like "re-forming" (rather than "deforming") back to the curves it had when it came as a roll. I am considering the heat gun for that. I am also thinking of reinforcement, but yesterday i rolled the skirt giving trouble and braced it to hold for hours. I'll soon see what it looks like this a.m. when I leave for work.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
