This is "Merc" in March of 2001. This is how it looked in Houston, Texas at the Orange Show where we won First Place Daily Driver. The hand painted checkerboard has been extended to the tops of the fenders and to the scallops on the roof. click the picture below to see more like this. |
The burnt and blistered paint is now all back to white again. The plan is to fill the holes with toys. The name "Holey Mercatoy'd" comes into being...summer of 2000. Click the picture below to see four more of this pose in primer and paint |
click the picture below for two additional views, and a rather exhaustive explanation of the pattern. |
