Yes, the wheel pant was made from my last bit of black Coroplast that I had left over when I rebuilt the main belly pan.
The top is aligned and slipped over the upper pivot bolt. Same goes fer the bottom on the hub axle nut. I have 4 screws per side that hold the Coroplast on to the metal substructure that is held in place by the axle nut. I have a piece of wood along with the metal support bar on the tail that keeps it from coming apart. I used Tyvek tape to keep the top and bottom horizontal pieces in place and painted over it with black paint.
On the front nose, I have 2 screws to keep the Coroplast tucked into place. I just added a piece of scrap aluminum flashing over the seam and secured that with some Tyvek tape.
