Sorry to disappoint, but there aint gonna be no choppin here, except for maybe a chop on the BBQ! and of course a beer or two....
The tape is to stop the doors from swinging open when the car is being rotated on the rotisserie.
Cheers.

No big deal there Joe..it's only the FB's 50th birthday...

..as long as it's finished for the 2011 Nat's and the EK's 50 is all that matters.
