    Practice is too much work, why not get right to f&^%^&$king things up.

    Here's a shot from a little farther back....

    It's not quite centered, or symetrical, but I think I'll leave it for a while. Hell, I'm not centered or symetrical either..........

    Looks a hell of a lot better than some of my first attempts. Good eye for design.

    Like I told my buddy Cody when he pinstriped my Falcon,

    If you make it look too perfect, the rest of the car will look like ****.

    Looks good, keep it up.

    Nice striping for a first try, if you line up the hood and grill it will look more symetrical.

    Sweet, awesome job. It looks centered and symetrical to me, but looks like it's the hood that ain't centered!! Nothing a bigger hammer won't fix.... I don't have any experience at pinstriping.. I've tried to pinstripe my wife, but she wouldn't hold still.....:rolleyes:

    I just picked up the Fall 2006 Hot Rod Paint & Body magazine and it has 50 custom paint ideas and 80 pinstriping ideas. You guys may want to check it out.
