Wow, you are doing a great job on these. Thank you so much! Any chance we can get more of Rick Mears through the years? Great work!
Thanks. Yeah, I'm going to paint more Mears' cars now that I'm in the 80's.

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.
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.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.

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,
