    i was really bored so i broke down my little mav and painted it.. painted outside gunmetal and the seats and dash tan.. painted the door handles and wipers with a toothpick.. before you say anything about the crooked back panel, think about how small that thing is.. anyways i think it looks pretty sweet.. what you guys think...

    I was bored the other night, and dipped one in Muratic Acid to see what would happen, it sure foamed up alot, and stunk up the garage. I'd have to say yours looks better.

    Is that a metalflake paint job? Very period correct for a 1970's custom.:p

    You have a pretty steady hand and much more patience than I would have. Good work.
