Painted a Car Door 2023

[Falcon Ranchero]

For our high school art show in 2023 I was commissioned to paint on a car door, promoting the auto shop and art rooms (131 and 132), and so I took the door from my grandma's father's 1953 Chevy 210 (or what was left of it), and made this, below. I have an old photo of the whole car in 1960, you may have seen it in 1:1 reference cars under "Vintage Photos of Family Cars: PART TWO" but I have it in this topic, too. The door stayed at school for a year, but it now sits in our basement, taking up space, but it is nice to look at. Never could find a way to patch that hole, but it looks ok. Made it into the yearbook so it mustn't have been all that bad.

Some screen wire and bondo will fix almost any hole. ?  Some nice art work, what grade did you get for It?

I actually have no idea, but knowing my art teacher I would imagine 100/100

I think you’ve hit on a business idea

You could probably sell more versions

That is a good idea, but I don’t know how many people have spare old car doors lying around. Would be neat to do an entire car like this.
