Thanks. Yeah, I'm going to paint more Mears' cars now that I'm in the 80's.

1981 Bill Alsup
1982 Rick Mears - DONE
1982 Gordon Johncock ???
1982 Bobby Rahal
1982 Hector Rebaque
1983 John Paul Jr
1983 Teo Fabi
1983 Mario Andretti

Do you have any suggestions? Am I missing someone?

Thanks for all those! A little correction about 1.5: The #7 car of Paul Tracy is his 1992 Indy500 car, not his 1991 car (he did not drive the 1991 Indy500).
Suggestions: (Like always) the 1989 cars of Michael Andretti & Al Unser, Jr.; a 80s car of Johnny Rutherford and maybe a missing car of another former F1 champion who tried his luck in Indy: Nelson Piquet.

You're right. He didn't race at Indy in 1991 and he didn't drove the #7 in 91 either. I'm going to correct this.
Regarding the cars, I think Michael 1989 is a good option since it's his first Newman-Haas drive and the livery is a bit different.
I thought about painting Johnny's 1980 Indy 500 car but it's another Pennzoil car. Do you suggest any other car of his ?
About Nelson Piquet I'm going to make both of his Indy 500 cars. I'm a big fan of his and had high hopes that he could have a good race until that crash smashed his feet in 92. In 1993 he only wanted to prove that he could because his injuries weren't properly healed yet.
As for little Al, his 89 car looks the same to his 88 so I'm not really excited about it.
I need your help with something. I remember Rick Mears Pennzoil firesuit was red. Did he race a Red Pennzoil car in any race ? I have this blur of a memory of him racing red pennzoil car when I was a child but I'm not certain.
Thanks a lot. No, no special suggestion about Johnny Rutherford, 'cause he's a driver I never saw racing live. Great to read about your plans to paint both cars of Nelson Piquet, maybe you could do the 1989 winning car of Emerson Fittipaldi (#20), too.
About Rick Mears: I can't remember to see a red Pennzoil car ever. I googled for it and didn't find any picture of a red Pennzoil car. Maybe he wore red firesuits because his teammates used them due to their Marlboro colors - but I'm really not sure about that?!? I'm sorry,
I searched as well and couldn't find a red Pennzoil paint scheme for Mears.
I updated Mears 1979 car. The top of the car had more red in it.
Updated 1983 Mario Andretti. Now it's liek the real thing.
1984 Mario Andretti
Made a couple of changes to Alsup's car. Really wasn't happy with it.
