    I really cant decide, its was yellow from new and had been painted 12 times :(
    Trust me I know I stripped the roof by hand.

    Im open to suggestions for a colour??? I would like to do a replica paint job from when they were raced but I cant seem to find any decent colour pictures to copy. Anyone got any????

    What application is that oil pan?....I had gotten one like that once that was for a '65 mustang and it was too wide to fit between the lower control arm mounts

    Here in Brazil the Ford Maverick was widely used on racing tracks back in the 70's and still showing up in some classic car events.
