Re: New Pin stripe
Nice piece. I like it better than w/o. It's a custom tailgate and the striping puts the handwork into the custom. Is that the only place he striped?

Re: New Pin stripe
EXACTLY!! It was made just for that truck. That is artwork. That is hand work. That is true custom.

Re: New Pin stripe
That pin stripe looks great. You really don't see people using pinstripe any more but I think it looks period correct. My tailgate looked plain also so my friend did some art work for me.
