the tarpin might scuff the paint in the long run

Doesn't matter. Both trucks need a *lot* of work before paint comes their way.

Bringing this back up for you.

I recently heard or read someone talking/writing about this. His suggestion was to make a small "Cup" out of Tin Foil and put the moth balls in that - that way you don't ruin the carpet/seats

I'm still looking for a container close to me

My tarps seem to be holding up OK. Got some water under the trucks sitting on the tarps that I'll have to sweep out. Actually, the blue truck dumped it's entire trans pan of fluid, so that should help keep it from rusting underneath. :P

I think I may well fix and drive the green one. Tossing around the idea of making it a 4x4 now. Can't seem to make the PVC pipes hold up, though. I'll have to get larger ones.
