I just wanted to share this. About a year ago I bought this Old helmet that was new in the box from the 60's I suppose from Sam (Pinstriper) from Rocco and Cheaters. I carried it around and just used to wear it to pump gas when I was in my 46. I loved the way people stare. Then one day when I realized Sam pinstriped I asked him to put some scallops on it. He said he would and he took the Helmet. Well some time p***ed and I had no idea what he was doing - CHECK THIS OUT!!!! MAN - what an awesome job. Thanks SAM!! You're the man.
and i thought i was the only one that liked to wear one of those helmets to make people wonder. i've got an orange one and a red one with stripes. sometimes i just tool around wearing one of mine with some yellow dishwashing gloves and stare at people at lights al'a better off dead. my girlfriend thinks there's something wrong with me...
Every time I have Sam do any striping or sign work I just leave it with him and say "call me when its ready". Sam has done many helments, hot rods,work trucks and motorcycles for me over the years. He also did all the art work in a fancy restrant that was featured on the food chanel. Sam designed all of it but on television the restrant owner said he designed everything..
That is some nice work. Maybe now when you pump gas you'll get a thumbs up or two... in between the bewildered stares that is.
Whatcha' need now is a little shorty sun visor to snap-on the helmet. It's . Nice job Sam . Tudor, Keep America Beautiful, wear it backwards .
i was down in birmingham working this past week, when i remembered some pictures of some folks at rocco and cheaters, so i decided to go. man i am glad i did. sam was there and i must say he was over the top nice, he let me have my run of the place and then gave me a bunch of schwag.
