It is no secret that this car is a rare treasure that we hope you will have the opportunity to see in person. Not only is it composed with the best engineering, but the paint on this car is breathtaking. Jeff Rucks’ wife, Suzanne and two daughters Leslie and Elizabeth, along with a family friend named Manz are actually painted on the top of the car. Actual portraits painted right on the car! All the images for the car were designed by Jeff Rucks and Jimmy Frazier. The paintings on the car were created by Jimmy Frazier of Fort Payne, AL. He spends most of his time painting fine arts with very limited custom paint work. The artwork on the side of the car is the result of a repetative dream by driver, Jeff Rucks. Eight weeks was spent with the car suspended in mid-air while Frazier did what he does best. It is a true work of art; unlike anything you will ever see on any race car. |
