This will be a consumable item that WILL get damaged so using the alumalite or wood is preferred over more expensive carbon fiber for now. Im starting to work out a plan to fabricate brackets that will not interfere with the ducting that I already have in place.

Hey John, not sure how much attention you paid to my belly pan last time we at the track, but I gotta say, I was surprised with how rigid it was when all was said and done. I used some plain 5052 .063 aluminum. There are a string of bolts around the front bumper, it travels all the way back to the subframe, and has a few pickup points in the center. When it's all snug and in place, I was surprised. I was expecting the need to box in some of the larger unsupported sections by riveting C channel in place, it just wasn't the case. I have no experience with the cored AL pieces, just the standard flat sheet.

This we should chat about
Aaaaaan tuning as well, correct? When I get some more details on dyno rental I will let you know. I'm sure something can be arranged though.
