So I used clear packaging tape to hold the magnets on. The packing tape also protects the painted surface of the hood. Then to store it (in the '70), I just stick it up over my head in the cab because I don't have a headliner in that truck.
I hear from people all the time at shows trying to pedal a signboards on me but I've never been interested. I don't like clutter and I like to have the truck speak for itself. But I really like your setup. Thanks for the info!
