In all the disappointment with the items which I agree aren't great, I just want to say how much I like your vintage style bonnet catches - they look great

It's a Morgan! They keep standards low for more than 100 years and now you come in and ask quality for money? Get a German car!

This! Some of the rivets holding my body on aren't painted. All part of the charm

The rivets along the bottom are what rivet the painted body to the tubular chassis. If they were painted you would have to mount the body unpainted and rivet it then paint it which would make paining the inside impossible or you would paint rhe thing twice. As it's usually water based this too would be difficult as you would be putting water based paint on top of lacquer. The rear reviews are painted because they are there along with the wooden frame when the tub is painted.

They could just touch the unpainted rivets in with a paint brush, not too tricky.
