getting closer

Another weekend, another couple of panels...



That top center panel is coroplast - it'll be removable. There's a coroplast "framework" underneath it.



One more side panel to go, then trim up the bottom panel where it meets the bumper.

Next photo (next weekend?) will be outside the garage, so we'll get our first look at the entire car+tail in one photo! Goal = tuft testing video.

It's been parked for ~5 weeks. Proving I guess I really don't need a car.
