My cousin Ruben, local Pinstriper in Visalia, Ca. We collaborated on this Merc that belonged to our friend Steve Crotty. I believe the Merc is in Australia now. It pops up here on the HAMB every once and a while. The owner asked me to do a quick rendering of the car with flames and scallops. He chose the flames, in the rendering I was trying to blend the flames colors with markers, my cousin thought I meant for him to use an air brush and streak a little fade in the body of the flames. Well, it worked, and many people thought it was planned! Like many custom paint mistakes, they enhance the custom look! If the owner of that Merc is on here, please put up a picture of the piano keys Ruben painted on the dash!
