My 1970 "Formula Vee" had only the stripes, and almost looked almost as good as yours when I bought it in late 1972. See the Formula Vee stripes - that's what the Arizona sun does !

Here's my 1970. Original pans and body. Never molested. Solid metal underneath with Fluid Film ooozing out of every body seam. Very Happy

This is my daily driver. Stock 1600 DP. Nice tight original 4 speed gearbox. It was a little overcast and rainy when I shot this pic. It was up on the ramps to adjust the valves and I also replaced the passenger mirror.

You are going to have fun! Start reading the manuals and absorbing the information.
