Striping done and came out better than expected.

Tried a new striper and he's got all my business from now on.

Matched the Orange dead nuts- also matched the piece of interior material I had (Peanut Butter}

Off to "Mangus" for the trim no.

Very nice touch. Simple but just enough to set it off and make it pop.


Also, two of "my favorite things" in the background - Flames and Fenders !!!

That three window must be hot - has an external fire extingusher on it

Striping looks " just right" not too little, not too much! This one shouldn't last long at all!

Very Nice! Tommy who was looking for striping ideas for his coupe should take a road trip from NY to AZ just to get some good lines from your brush man. How about giving the Striper a plug and let us all know who he is and where? All of us like to find good craftsmanship.

Bill - Drive train consist of : 4 bolt main 355 SBC, balanced, Comp 272 cam with 2 degrees button put into it, Stelite valves, double springs.Didn't Dyno it but my builder says this combo should put out right @ 360 H.P. without any problem. - 350 turbo with heavy clutch pac & 2400 convertor. Currie 9" with 3:25 gears 31 " tall rear tires. Only got 15 miles on it right now, but I can tell already, that when it's broke in it's gonna be a BLAST TO DRIVE.

Ray - The striper's name is Bill Knight (he's local). Been stripin since the late 50's all over the southwest. Recently moved from Las Curses N.M. to my area. This guy is GOOD !!!!! And very reasonable.

Hey Don, the striping looks good. Your striping is something in line with what I want to do. Still thinking of doing side panels with louvers first and then striping.

Tom-- The style is Tommy "The Greek"

He was a striper in the 50's - 60's in the Nor Cal Area.

It's Timless. Works on just about anything.

The 2 colors have to work together though.

Wrong colors can KILL a car.
