    Finally got some pics of my red Mav. I took these last night right after a big rain storm. Pics are kinda blury. This is my daily cruiser, it's no show car, but it's fun as hell to drive. I took the dog dish caps off, painted the wheels black, put some chrome lugnuts on and whala - poor man rally's! Atleast they look like 'em when I'm driving! I'd like to get some slots or magnums on it some day.

    Looking now
    If the 1st pic wouldnt have been blury it would have been magazine cover quality. Looks great. I love these cars, it dont take much to make em look tuff.

    Thanks guys. I was using a digital camera so I guess I don't have it set up right for darker lighting pics. I just read the article in Popular Hot Rodding about taking pics of your car and it mentions bad weather makes for cool car pics... so there I was in the rain like a fool.

    Will, I'm from El Paso, TX.

    Hey Tony, live on the eastside. Lightning show was cool Sunday, wierd color sunset too. Do you ever go out to the Dezert Demonz Drags? Does your Mav have Weld Wheels on it?

    just got back from late walk at Album park! That's a trip. I live off George Dieter.

    i don't think I've seen your car around. I also have an orange 70 Grabber with Convo Pro's that I've had forever.
