    Couldn't stand the dent & the rock chips so I painted a black strip.... It will work for now... Til I get the time & Money to paint the whole car.
    I don't really like it... but it looks ok going down the road and looks better than the rust & rock chips. Phil

    That's not bad... but I sure like the light yellow as hot as we get here. Since there isn't any AC... Thanks for the idea though. Phil

    Sierra Grabber, I sure know that feeling... between blowing wind all the time... the salt and ROCK they call sand in the winter... and someone towing this behind a motor home... she took some hits for sure. Phil
