Wheel pant installed! I reused the Coroplast from the first version.

Rear view...

I ended up painting the Lazy Susan belly pan and wheel pant with the semi-gloss black paint I mistakenly bought. At least I put the paint to good use.

In order to check the tire pressure and fill the tire with air, I have to git lucky with the roll of the tire so the air valve is exposed at the 6 o'clock position or I have to take the back part of the right wheel pant off by cutting two zip ties.
