Paint on the motor is great and all, but I actually meant the car's colour. Looks very retro cool.

:oops: :oops: borrowed a petrol cap cover and had it mixed. color coice i think was the hardest desision. went for the least common (ct) and most original. retro coll is xactly the lokk im going for.

i used the same cane that is used for woven baskets, i first burnt it a bit with a blow torch to give it some grain, then stained it with wooddoc stainer to give it the dark redish colour.
