Removed a majority of the screws holding the wheel pant frame work together to minimize potential issues and used steel pop rivets to keep it all together. I reinforced the lower cover plate with some brackets since it was originally held together with Tyvek tape. At least the wheel pant is installed again!
I'll start framing out the new smaller belly pan since the tail of the wheel pant has to clear it when Dark Aero is loaded down and I'm backing up. I guess it was smart to keep those sand bag ballasts around.
