The left fender will be red and the left doors will be blue to look like replacement parts.I mixed a few drops of flat black with red to get the shade I wanted along with the satin finnish.I will do some more weathering latter. The rest of the body will be Maroon.  |

Sweet, mismatched panels always makes a beater look more realistic.

Looks great, the numbers/letters on the doors and fenders look like salvage yard parts, nice touch. The engine looks great, where is the rear main seal leak?

Considering the left doors are blue, I would go with blue door panels. But that is just me. Black would be a good choice, too.
If you have, or can find, scale "vice-grips", for the window crank handle.

I think I will go with blue on the door panels. Not sure about the vice-grips, good idea though
