That means that you'll be repainting it. Was it originally for a 14" wheel?

Don't need to repaint it, the top is fine, just modifying the lower piece the tire sits in. The Toyota rims were 16 and 18 inch and a 15 wouldn't fit to the bottom so couldn't get the lid to close. It will now but I have some fiber glassing to do but won't be seen..

This is the first that I heard of a cover. An add on request from Frances? Be great when you go to Dryden for supplies.

How will you ever warm up John, if you keep us in the cold. When the warmth moves North it comes thru here.
