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.

You can make the tape by folding masking tape over itself on one edge. Works nearly as well.

In reply to camaroz1985 :
I snagged a roll of 3M 06800 on ebay for about $20.

I don't know how well it works yet because I haven't quite gotten that far in the project.
