The pics
On one side I have Anubis at night, near the gas door it's a pic of the Godess Bastat with a cheetah. I'm going to get more on the trunk. When I get the trunk done I will have him put Isis and Horus on there. I have Nephtis and Isis on my front winshield with their wings spead oposing another, Horus in the Passenger side front winshield and Anubis on the drivers side front windshield, two cartouches are also there-one under each character, and two oposing wadjets or Eye's of Horus Ra. I will get pics when I get a chance. Thats whats on the front windshield.
More murals are to come, I need to do the front fenders and the back. Don't worry it will be crazy I will try to get it cleared soon so I can get some real good pics from the photographer. Joe

Ra's looking better and better all the time. At first, your initial photos didn't quite convey what you were trying to do.
Do you know any teachers? This car could be a cool "show and tell" item for a class going into world history. Even if some of the illustrations are not quite correct, you could explain the descrepancies and talk about "artistic license," etc.
Throw in some science about how car engines or your suspension bags work. Then some math on how to figure out tire sizing or maybe how to figure fuel economy.
When I taught driver's ed in the classroom (and sometimes in the car lessons) I'd throw in stuff totally off the wall, like biology or history stuff. Talking about animals on the roadway (what's America's only indiginous marsupial?) or physics affecting cars (air resistance, downforce, polar moment of inertia using Dolly Parton and Twiggy as examples).
I actually think I'm serious about this!
