Before I tell you about the gift, I have on my "Flame Suit" because the purist will surely have a heart attack!!!
For some time I have wanted to pinstripe the Thunderbird, but kept changing my mind. I finally contacted the man that pinstripes the cars in the Coker Tire Museum and we were trying to arrange a time to get my car done this month. I got "cold feet" and decided not to do it.
To make a long story short, Mildred decided pinstripes would be a good birthday present. At the suggestion of our son-in-law we went to Bryson City, NC to see "Scarecrow". www.scarecrowart.com He can do some unbelievable things with a paint brush. He loads several colors on the brush at once and creates images that have a 3D effect and change colors as you view from different angles. It is called Sumi-E art and originated in China centuries ago.
He did my pinstripes and then wanted to do his interpretation of a Thunderbird on the hood scoop. I finally gave in and when it was done it looked great. The pictures don't do his work justice. I know many of you won't like it, but I feel I have a signed copy of a unique artwork. (His signature is near the gas cap..)
