[ausev] Weatherising my EV... any suggestions?

[gary]

The Porsche that we're working on has plastic panels covering every 
square inch of the bottom.  Something like coroplas sheets might work 
well to cut and secure in sections underneath.  I saw that done on some 
hyper-mile sites (for example - first return on "hypermiler coroplas" 
search is 
http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthread.php/volvo-850-coroplast-wonder-4093.html).  
I'm told there is a plastics place that sells sheets in NE San Antonio 
(for John anyway).
