That moment when you tell the artist that you want a painting of Trixie from Speed Racer wearing a corset...LOL.
I put green coolant in everything. I've seen the Dexcool crystalize on too many vehicles and clog up the cooling system.

Looks really cool! However, I'm not sure if I'm more disappointed in myself for not knowing who Trixie is or the fact that some of you guys actually know who she is. Can't say I ever watched the show.

Thanks for the comments. Trixie was Speeds girlfriend in the old Speed Racer cartoon. The whole "Trixie" theme started shortly after we bought the Vette a couple years ago. My Fiance had always named all of her vehicles. One day, while pulling out of the driveway, she asked what the Vettes name should be. I just said the first thing I could think of..."Trixie". The correlation to the cartoon character came later.
We were looking for something unique to have painted on the fuel rail covers so I started searching for unique things. I ran across some old pictures of Trixie from the cartoon. We took a picture of Trixies head to a local custom car painter named Art Simpson, from Art Signs in Newark, Delaware. We asked if we could get her head put on a posing body, wearing a corset. He searched through his files and found a pose that would work with the head. The actual art is brush painted with airbrushed fill.
