Great camo in the 70's at a flower power rally. Post it after you strip it down, hope you hit gold Good luck

well i had already bid on it before you even knew about it

but i spoke to soon about the decals as there was a note in the box that i dident read till now saying "the reason for the camo paint job was that the previous owner had applied ss decals so it was painted to be sold on ebay" why cant these morons just leave well alone maybe atleast there may be some original paint..................maybe

Bummer! Best of luck all the same! are you going to make a habit/hobby out of stripping other peoples "art"? or is it best to stay off the paint stripper fumes!!!

[NickD]

well ya never know if i find another one i will do it again as it is quite fun to undo what should never have been done & ya never know i might strike lucky next time

[NickD]

well here it is & if im not mistaken is that original paint

anyway nice impact hole in the side haven't really done the inside as i ran out of paint stripper

well hope you guys like it or did you prefer the artistic paint job

[Australian Guy]

Now that looks 100% on what it did, and I think your right, that is some original paint, great job!!

Love the impact hole

Just a helpful idea, have you tried the paint stripper on your stereo?? It might turn out to be a keeper
