    Ok...im not a veteran striper, but i love doing it and i finally got up the courage to throw down some stripes on my deville last night...I know it's not perfect (first car ive ever striped...mostly helmets and junk laying around the garage..lol) but they are on there now...Let me know what you think...also im going to put another color with it, just not sure what its gonna be yet. Thanks for checking it out! Also..when i post a new thread, the title never comes up in boldface like the other ones? cuz im a newbie? huh...anyways...thanks.

    Kinda got a sort of tribal look to them, but yet some old school flare as well I like them.

    not bad. Looks like it needs an accent color.

    Sweet car. Any pictures of the bagging? I have the exact same car, just waiting my air tank to get here so I can get to work on it :D

    Pins? Lines or stripes yes, pins not so much. Looks alright but I would've done the body work and paint first.

    To me, the fender striping looks like some kind of prehistoric fish. It kind of fits the car...big ol' megaladon cruising around, looking for prey.

    Yeah, deffinetly going with an accent color just not sure...No pics of the suspension build but they are very straightforward..The front is just a cup..cant remember what height, and weld a bag plate to the factory control arm. I run Slam specialties re7's, Shocks on the rear and an 8gal tank with two viar 480s. Just finished freshening up the 429 and i love it...actually put about a hundred miles on today....not happy about winter coming...keep me updated on yours.

  10. I like it. Keep at it. As far as another color sometimes less is more. I am a sucker for cool single color stripe work
