4 Steps to prepping the Mercedes Pens for a movie shoot

Do you ever wonder what its like over here at the Pen Guy house with all the donated pens I have been collecting locally and through the mail? Well here are the exclusive, never before seen pictures of my front yard totally covered in pens ready to sorting for my big roof project.

You start out with all the old pens out in the open ready for sorting.

Then you start sorting the crayola markers by color in bundles.

Then you prep the roof with drain pipe glued on with silicone.

Then you shove all the crayola marker bundles in the tubes and pray to God they don’t fly off the roof while your driving down the highway at a whopping 65mph.

It took me about a week to scrape and prep the roof and another week to short and glue the new pens on. All this to get the Mercedes Pens ready for filming on the new movie called Doggie Boogie in San Francisco. I got one more day of shooting next week so all I have to do do is show up with the car just as it was last week.
