Default Controversial Topic: White Walls and Letters
I read an article about the Mako Shark II, and in the article stated Bill Mitchell had the wheels hand painted for the debut of the concept car back in '65. I gave it a shot to see how it would turn out on my '75.

As mentioned, when put in context w/the Maco, I find it strangely cool. Hard to say if I'd feel the same way w/o the Maco reference but I do like it.
