That's a great idea. And I feel the same way about tape. I have some black duct tape, but I cringed at the idea of sticking it on my paint. Maybe Gorilla Tape is better to work with?
I can fab up some brackets that attach to the tow hooks with the sheet metal idea. I'm supposed to take a used water heater to the dump for a friend; might be just the ticket.
It was a lot harder than I imagined to trim the coroplast to the right shape. I made two mistakes out of coroplast then finally one out of cardboard that worked and transferred the outline to the coroplast.
This is good training for my "aerocap" construction. I'm re-thinking the skin for the cap and maybe thin plywood would work better.
I did figure out how to create cross sections in sketchup so I can more accurately build the ribs for the aerocap. I'm thinking these will need to be very accurate to build the shape to match my design. I haven't yet figured out how to transfer the sketch to a life-size image in the correct dimension.
