A quick wrap around to determine how much more to add to the new panels (about 3" more per side). I've decided to move away from the idea of just a single wrap around panel and stick with a 2 panel setup with a metal reinforcement plate on the nose to protect the Coroplast from debris and rocks. I will probably have 2 strips of wood support fer the nose so the Coroplast will have something to screw into.

Testing metal reinforcement fer the rear...
