That is very good!
We had an electronic line drawing done of ours and had hoodies and tee shirts made up. I thought I had pictures but can't find them so will take some new shots maybe tonight.
The final version had the background removed and looked much better.

I built my first buggy for someone else in 2015. And it was also my first flake job. The body was a Manx I with doors cut in it, battery and tire wells both hacked. Over 380 holes filled. In addition to payment for the task, the owner had a painting commissioned from a Photo of me rock crawling while on top of Pikes Peak in 2014. It was the artist's first time painting a car. I think she did fabulous with it. It is hung on my dinning room wall.
I rebuilt my buggy from January through April in 2018, and drove it to Mexico to race the NORRA Mexican 1000, and drove it home. We as a team could not have done it without others help. One person in particular, has been a sponsor to every team that has raced a Meyers Product since 2015. Instead of a photo on a plack, we decided to commision a special art work for him. So, in a characture style, here is Marty driving the Puzzle Manx.
Some may not know, but I did not drive my buggy in the NORRA Race. I am in too poor of health to take the beating. So, 4 friends drove it. In thanks to me for inviting them, they commissioned Bruce Meyers Grandson to paint my buggy based off of a action photo from the race. It is hanging in my family room.

Everyone is gifted. Some just do not open the package.
Looks like it was painted with a live chicken,polished with a brick and buffed with a pine cone |

Before we were married, my wife put this dazzeling dash display on my Mini-Camaro ~1976:
After we married in 1980, she did this sunset scene using oil paints and fingernail polish for the buggy:
She made this stain'd glass box after the buggy got a curved windshield:

Had a couple students, Jared and John Holsinger in my computer animation class-they created this using MS paint back in the early 2000s:
Updated it for the 50 year changes:

The red buggy from Cammie and the metal etching are my two favorites so far.
I have this sign that is cut from thin gauge metal. Made by local small business I saw at a hotrod swap meet.
