The joys of towing with an open trailer. While returning from Cobra Automotive–where we fetched our 1965 Ford Mustang vintage racer–one of the side scoops blew off.

Well timed and great results. I am about to do the same thing on our old truck which is also single stage. Did not consider that the paint shop would put it in a can.

No clear? Or was that in the can with the paint as well?

Need some of that fancy tape.  I see 3M makes it, but $60 a roll, I assume yours wasn't that costly.

In reply to camaroz1985 :

I snagged a roll of 3M 06800 on ebay for about $20.  I don't remember how much is on the roll, but I'm doing some patch work on my Miata quarters and when I bought it my thought process at the time said it should be enough for the job.  I don't know how well it works yet because I haven't quite gotten that far in the project.
