A Quest for 35mpg (Subaru Outback Limited Sedan 2.5L auto)

Mid day update:









worked ahead and made a template for the other side. Some more cutting, some more tape other side should be on. I'm gonna go for fiberglass today. Old man said I could borrow his truck to go to work tomorrow. So these might be done up and on the car over labor day weekend!

Going to go for round one fiberglassing in a few...I am dragging today...Too much Toga :-p

Oh not to mention we broke 90 around noon and its finally starting to cool off :-/

Still excited to fiberglass!!!!

[cosmic_kid]

nothing like putting on extra clothes when it's 90!

I was working on my car today in 90+ too, but I was in the sun

I feel your pain!

I've come to the realization that a wheel skirt has ALOT of surface area....it took over an hour to get one side done. I need to pickup more fiberglass mat as well. I am fairly happy with the way the first layer came out. I"m just hoping the warmth holds out so I can get the first layer on the driver side!

Dehydrated this morning, still dehydrated now. I haven't pissed all day. :-( Has anyone ever died from Ecomodding?

Either way, both sides on first layer on top, but due to size, they are going to need at least a 2nd layer before they can come off the car. ugh! I'm actually starting to think sheet metal would have been better. I need to locate a local supplier. The only place I know of right now is 45-50 minutes away, and I would need a full size truck to bring sheets home. *sigh*

Time for bed.

No but if you keep trying you could be the first. Keep pioneering sir.
