Centurion's skirts makeover.
-
For the 2016 Green Grand Prix, Centurion featured rear skirts and wheel discs. The discs held up nicely but the rear skirts did not. Weather in April was too cold to fiberglass the skirts (outdoors) so a temporary set was constructed from birch plywood with a coroplast (voting sign) faceplate.
-
Recently the coroplast was starting to show problems as the sunlight would heat it up, and different parts would expand at different rates. The visual was something that looked like wavy painted cardboard, Time for a makeover....

The first attempt included some new foam panels from the big-box store. Given the size and thickness of the skirts, and using a small sample as a guinea pig, these looked like the perfect material to fiberglass over, and for the first 30 minutes or so - they were. By morning however, the foam turned to blue snot and this attempt was added to the wall of shame.

-
Rummaging through the geologic layers of crap around here, a couple sheets of Luan turned up and the fun began.
-
The finished skirts are very sturdy and should last a long - long - time!
