The sides were done as separate movements. Pollack used body movements and energy to structure his work. The sides are subdued as they link hood and rear and top.

The style of Jackson Pollack is that of areas of dense paint covered with swirling thin lines of other colors. The dense areas or movements in the piece are connected with white dribble line. Found objects are often included. We have fitted the style of pollack to the streamlining of the catalina. This is a 1966 catalina. The front grille and fins are given a treatment according to pollack of thin dribble line in bright streamlining colors of yellow orange and red. Car parts such as spark plugs, nuts, condenser, points, and thermostat are included in the surface.

As is the custom partycar is always painted in its parking space frame. The paint is rustoleum. Also the custom the feet and shoes are never protected from paint....paint lasts for a week or so! On the street the paint is still bright after 10 years or more.

This is the beginning.....something had to be done....large rust spots had developed and the paint layer, now thick had to be stabilized. Additionally.....outspoken critics had attacked the aesthetics of the redness of the colors I did not agree with them but if I could shut them up with a color shift that I liked I would. So the transformation began....
