    I used sheet metal from a rusty maverick trunk. So I beleive its either 18 or 20 gauge.

    Have'nt worked on this car lately. Been doing things to the yellow one. This is the latest thing I've done. This vallence was kinda banged up a little, so I narrowed the opening just as I did with my orange maverick.

    Did a little more painting today. It still looks blue on the camera. Cant get the true purple color for some reason. It does kinda show up in a couple of pictures.

    Nice color..probably pops in the sun but also looks like a dark purple at night...
    You planning on throwing another color in the mix? I think a pearl white or silver grabber stripe would really set it off, even a black stripe with black wheels would be cool.
