...and then there's moments like this. Hey, at least the tape is white -- I made some effort to match!

Truth is, both doors need some metal work and a repaint, and now is just not the time to get that done. So the tape will at least keep the holes covered for now.
 
Been listenin' to "Car Talk", Drew? :devilgrin:

Hey, like you said, at least it's not the grey tape!
 
If you do body work with duct tape...... you miiight be a redneck!

Seriously go to autozone, buy a couple rubber plugs. Even if you paint them white - will look better and not start peeling 48 hours from now

Unfortunately there are cracks in both doors in addition to the holes I covered. Thought about some plugs, may still go that route later on if the tape doesn't hold up. Really I'm hoping that I can get the doors sorted correctly this coming winter.
 
If that's the crack showing through the tape, that's about as serious as I've ever seen!

It is. Crack goes all the way down to one of the bolt holes for the mirror. Going to need some serious welding and reinforcement, beyond my abilities that's for sure.
