    Just realized where I saw the window cranks I bought... you had them posted here. When I saw them on ebay..I bought them. :bouncy:

    Tempted to try the chemical stripping... mainly due to it being the cheapest method I can find....that wont leave me scrapping with a razor blade for years and years. And don't trust my self with a DA sander...:oops:

    I love all of it. The lights, gas cap , even the painted bumper.

    Well since I can't afford to buy media blaster, or have it done..guess I will buy some stripper and a sander..have some scrappers. Was hoping to avoid Sanding. :rofl:

    I have to say the 69 lights are the best looking mod I have seen on a maverick, I am very impressed....

    I burned many neurons and spent days on ebay and in photoshop to decide what to do
    After much work, it was chosen ... by the way all my work might help someone to pick her too ;)

    some are horrible, but mostly I liked :thumbs2:
