    Love IT ! 100%. Taking me back to the 70's. Your T shirt, and the perfect way the Maverick came out are awesome. Bravo. Reminds me of my years at Air California, with the same colors. Very cool.

    Well, back in the 1970s I was just a little kid,but it brought back so many great memories! Having a car or truck and making it unique is part of owning one. Great job Sam!😊

    I have a Area51 Hybrid XL on order. I was thinking about doing something similar on the wheels. I was leaning on a cream rather than a stark white for the wheels as an option. Overall, I love the look of your truck and love the fact that many Maverick owners are customizing their trucks

    I will be getting the hybrid xlt in blue velocity.. i like old skool too.. but if i decide to go with the 70s i wonder what this would look like on velocity blue. What color strips i should use on velocity blue. And i doubt i would paint the wheels that come with the xlt..because they are kinda expensive ones on the xlt trim. Im guessing you live south..

    You say that you cut that vinyl by hand? I'm extremely impressed. I'm sure I could pull off the install if the vinyl was precut, but you, my friend, have done an exceptional job all over. My wife wants to do vinyl on our Smart Fortwo and I'm not sure if it's something I could do or if I need to find a professional. The Smart Fortwo is the reason why I found your channel in the first place. The fact that you then bought a Maverick and that's what I plan to replace my other car with is just going to keep me here lol.
