Throw some "rust" on the panels, "rust out" the rocker panels and call it done!

The priming looks just perfect!

Great youtube video, so smart and actually so simple method... but I am sure not so easy as it looks... but already to keep the thread in correct tension and direction and then be able to saw at the same time while keeping the chassis steadily... uhh...
