With the windshield upgrade and the color changes, I no longer need the red full cover that came with it when I purchased it. It also has the red covers for the 300x's. It seems to be in pretty decent shape, as it was stored inside.

That said, I need to get a new cover made, but I am a bit nervous about a cover rubbing on the windshield. I typically do not travel with a cover on, but there are times that I need to. What are others using? What kind of materials? Thanks in advance!

how much u want for the red full cover?
as im going with red accents on my resto
also when u get the new cover made have them sew in felt on the under side along where the shield hits

I'd think that the cover and 2 engine covers would be worth $500, plus the ride from Missouri (if you know anybody coming to the Shootout they could give them a ride home). They are used, and may need a little work, but overall they are in good shape. Hell, I would even throw in the red cockpit carpeting (snap in). I have 2 full sets of gauges also (including teh smartcraft monitors)..........they also happen to be red!

Now that I am at it, the red steering wheel is also being replaced, along with the ignition and starter switch panel in the middle.

and the 2 pairs of JL Audio speakers, a JL marine subwoofer, and two large amps...............

Lol Skater Garage sale looks oh so familiar.

To cover or not to cover the continuing saga goes on.......

I have a very nice expensive Sunbrella tonnaue cover with the soft inside which doesn't scratch the wind shield. So they say. Craig at Appearance Products made it. I then had a full cover made with a less expensive soft inside liner. Additionally I have head rest covers to protect them.

I always tow with tonnaue cover and engine covers. If I use my full cover for longer trips and I always put tonnaue cover on first. Some people say dirt gets on these and scratches paint even on cowls. I travel roads were bugs tree limbs and gravel is more of a problem than using a little mirror glaze and buffing wheel. I'm on my third season. I just buffed and mirror glazed and the clear looks great.

I also installed Rocktamer flaps on my hitch. My kids make fun of me now but the rocks don't get to my paint!
