I got a picture of my Gremlin posted in the photo section. I really
do own one. The picture was taken at the big car show last fall.You
can't tell it in the picture but below the chrome piece on the doors
I have it painted flat black with a red stripe with "Gremlin" above
the stripe. I did some body filler on rust on the bottom of the doors
and the rear fender wheels. I knew I couldn't match the paint so I
went this route. The car shines like a million dollars, it should I
bet I have 50 coats of wax on it, but when you are close you can see
all the flaws in the paint from the years it sit outside. I need to
get it painted but I hate to lose the original paint. The wheels are
just the plain small hub caps with beauty rings with the wheels
painted steel gray. It kind of gives them the look of the old Mustang
stock mags. My biggest project this Spring is to put two Captain
chairs out of my old Ford van in it for front seats. They match the
tan interior but they don't fold so the back seat will almost be
useless. Oh well nobody wanted to ride back there anyway.
