Thought you guys might be interested in the art car I created for the Woodward Dream Cruise in Michigan last weekend. I finished it in time for the local Porsche club event (RSR region) on Friday night. Here is a link with pictures and detail. Cheers, Paul

That is spectacular

How long do you plan on keeping it that way?

I want one

Nicely done...

Motor Car Market

Thank you very much! As an artist and car guy, I designed it to be permanent. The previous repaint was so awful it didn't make financial sense to me to restore it traditionally. I printed a lot of extra stickers to replace as needed from future weathering, peeling, scratches, etc. even though it's a fair weather friend and always garage kept.

Outstanding - please bring that car to Frenzy this October in No VA!

So you printed each article as an individual sticker and not a vinyl wrap? I like the concept.

Thanks guys. Yes, about 300 stickers hand laid over 80 hours. I pulled window trim, lights and mirrors just like a paint job. Sanded the paint with 320 and cleaned with paint prep to get the best adhesion I could. Each sticker is trimmed around curves with relief cuts. In many curves there are multiple stickers to cover all the paint.

Way cool.

Also, it looks like a very good read!

Mrmerlin

your a master,
thats an awesome job you did,
and the rest of the car looks great too,
how much do you want for it?

Can you give more details about printing the papers as stickers? What kind of equipment, the medium, etc??

That's pretty neat. Though my first thought was that would look great racing around nürburgring!

You just blew my mind! Very well done!!

I'm pretty sure that is the #1 press car in this photo. (An photo from Car & Driver)


Let me know if you need more press photos. I have collected a quite a few... of press cars, matter of fact... which seems fitting.

Very happy to see you kept the car very original!

I few questions, comments, observations:

Did the car originally have the rear wiper?

Also, inkeeping with your chrome headlamp buckets (which are awesome!), the door lock bezels should be chrome ('78 only). Strangely, the only chrome bit on the car, as it was.

The Blau radio you sourced is period correct, but not what was originally fitted.

Is the speedo in MPH or KPH?

Are those 951 wheels on the rear?

Does it have the original stainless steel gas cap?

As you can see, I'm very curious.

Again, well done... and thank you for sharing!
