    At first, I voted yes but no. When I read that you are just beginning, I quickly changed my vote to yes. I thought it was a bit small, but looking closer I would be happy to have you drag some lines on my Deuce highboy in a New York minute. You are going places with your brushes, Bud. Since we no longer make crazy interstate trips halfway across the nation, we might see you somewhere between Hondo and Houston.

    Yes but continue to add to it. A nosed and decked car needs to have the stripping stretched out. I personally don’t like it to high or on car that are not de-chromed but you’ve got a great canvas…

    I think back to the first car I had pinstriped, a 32 Ford Red tudor sedan. The go to striper in 1974 was a man in Omaha who called himself Mr. Ed. I told him what I had in mind and he told me to go home (150 miles) and I would get what he had in mind not what I wanted. I rolled the dice and a week later went back and the job was excellent. He used a 2 color stripe with orange and brown. Forced me to repaint my Chrysler wire wheels orange but it looked great and a year later it was on the cover of Rod Action.

    I’ve told pinstripers where I want it and then turn them loose to be creative.
    Never been disappointed.:D

    If my striper used colours that didn't go with my theme I would be quite unhappy.

    I agree with the others, it looks great, perfect symmetry and huge kudos for doing it yourself. I also agree that with the size of the area you can take those talents you obviously have and expand the design some to better fill the area. The car itself looks great from this angle, maybe the next skill you can master is to straighten out that bumper :) :) :)

    I think it looks really nice, and the fact you can say you did it yourself is KILLER.
