This Marauder is currently for sale on eBay.

What I can't figure out is it a Black MM that wants to be Silver or a Silver MM that wants to be Black?

Festus,
It looks like an original Black MM to me. I guess it is sorta reminiscent of the hood flames from back in the '50's and '60's.

but it wants to be right.. If someone that is a painter of fine automobiles wants it .. they can probably get a smokin deal.. Then drive the thing aroun for a while in its curent odd shape :stupid: :stupid: :fire:

That paint style comes and goes, I remember when it was big in the mid to late 80's. It is usually on large cars.
I think the design is called scallops.
It looks okay on the Marauder, I wouldn't do it to mine but it looks good.

Maybe wrong but just thinking!

Looks like a high-speed impact between a black MM and an errant can of white paint that fell off the back of a truck on the highway.

Just goes to show: don't tailgate! :)

Seriously, though... it's all a matter of personal taste. I applaud the final product as it seems like it was well executed, and I applaud the owner's originality. It's just not my cup of (insert favorite beverage here).

Like I said before, *****in'..... While flame's would probably look better ( these look better on 50's rides) this guy had a little imagination to make his Marauder look different. :beer: :pimp: :pimp: :rasta: :up:
