How do you join(fasten) your belly pan materials?
I am mocking up the van belly pan with cardboard and hope to begin the real thing in about a month. I see that pop riveted screw nuts can help fasten materials to the frame/body, but how about fastening the belly pan material to other sheets of belly pan material? I need to make access ports for oil changes and greasing the front end so I need easily dismantled and reassembled joints.
The belly pan will be attached to the back bottom of the ABS air dam and then go back 4 to 7 feet.
I have some large sheets of coroplast that I can use if they are resilent enough to take some impact damage and then return back to shape. Otherwise I will need to get a sheet of ABS plastic... any recommendations for thickness?
I have a section of exhaust that I may cover and was thinking of using 1/4 inch hardware cloth. High speed air moving parallel to the clothe will most likely see a solid surface. However, while driving slow, low speed air can still circulate freely to cool the piping. Anyone with experience with this technique?
