The copper is fairly thick - lots of material for the threads of the screws to hold.

Darin-Is there a chance you could post or re-post close up pics of your wheel skirts? The pics won't show up on the first page and I've been dying to see them.
Thank you!
Barna

Reposted the pics in the first post of the thread.

Let that be a warning to you folks: don't use a 3rd party image hosting service. Some of them disappear... with your photos!

Upload your images to your EcoModder album, or as attachments.

I got some at Regal Plastics in Oklahoma City. I've also ordered LEXAN from Rid Out plastics online... Found both using Google.

Yikes! I'd thought of that, and my account on Imgur is an unsorted mess. That's good to know—I'll look into this Ecomodder album thing. Can I redirect old links into it?

Not sure what you mean by "redirect old links".

If you mean go back and edit old posts to replace the image links with links to moved images, then "yes". That's what I had to do in this thread after the image hosting service nuked my pics.
