just picked up some material from Home depot to do side skirts and maybe a front air dam and partial grill block if I have enough mat remaining. Got some rust to fix on the rockers/bottoms of the doors before I can do the aero mods. Going to try to tackle it this sunday.
The material I'm going to use is actually commercial kitchen floor mats. They're rubber, approved for wet conditions, slightly rigid enough to stay straight, yet able to bend if necessary. Going to take some time to do the mods but I'm looking forward to it.

Also hit 350 miles with about 1/8th a tank of gas left. Tomorrow I'm heading down to my house from my apartment, about 35 miles. Pretty sure my next tank I'll finally hit 40mpg or more. Made some Pulse and glide mistakes that def skewed this gas tank.
