Me too. Today was sale day at the recyclers — I got sheet metal 2x4s for a frame, 1.5" square gutter downpipe to paint black for the collector and two 30x68 tempered glass shower doors (for free) which will span the gap between two of my 14" roof vents. Maybe $25 so far.

I did recently get a Dish antenna that's exactly the same diameter as the rear wheelwell opening. I'm going to cut up the faux-Foxcraft skirts that won't fit and turn them into bubble skirts using the antenna as a female form. I've never done fiberglass before.

I'm going to use a tab-and-slot arrangement at the lower corners. Do you think it would work better to have the tabs or the slots on the skirts? Macht nichts?
