Pardon me if this has been mentioned before, if not, here it is: Isn't this our very own Skratch, displayed in this Swedish Car magazine? Skratch, if you want a copy of the mag, PM me your addy.
Heck, that guys been world famous for years. I think he tours Japan on a regular basis and is also a TV star right here in the USA. He was a leader in the F*** Von Dutch movement. That guy is gonna be on the E channel soon with one of those true hollywood stories. Oh yeah, and he does lay some good lines on cars too.
Yeah he did my "A" g***er 5 years ago and I sold it to a guy who repainted it. It would be worth a fortune now.
man, that ****s! we had to go over his pinstriping while prepping the 39.. Skratch is a great guy btw
Speedaddict I don't know where I've been but I don't think I've seen your car since it turned blue. Looks good.
I actually work for Skratch and have been for almost 6 months. i wouldnt say that car would have been worth a fortune but it definitly made it way more valueable then it was. Some say to have stripes on your car from him is like a status symbol... some say. Skootch at Skratch's Garage.
I have to say I think it's more of an honor than a status symbol. Scratch is an amazing artist, gear-head, and as down-to-earth a guy as you'll ever meet. He also seems to work his *** off, so it's great to see him get some ink. Man, I really dig his style of striping. Here's a pic of the lines he layed on the '53's tailgate. I asked if he had ever done something similar to "Harvey Shaken from Crossbreeding", and he said that he hadn't but was willing to give it a try. My only regret was restricting his creativity with the request, as opposed to just turning him loose on the tailgate. Live and learn, but I do think his version of Harvey is cool as hell. -murph
He never does, hes always has a million things going on , and besides that hes a ****. Ha!! Hey Skratch, did you ever get the Olds? I never heard from you so I ***ume it went as planned... Give me a call and let me know...Dave And by the way Paul got married this past weekend. Give him a call.
wow,that's alot of press.thanks for all the good things you've said. there's a couple of cars i did in the new lowrider mag.oct 05 issue thanks again
.............he's one of MY heros! The article in R&C on him by Rick "Short Bus" Amado, "So you want to be a Pinhead?", is what finally motivated my *** to try striping. I'm no good, but some of that is because I'm lazy. I have had a lot of fun learning..............
