Can You Show Me Some Stripes

Okay...I'll be at the paint shoppe with the 68/71 as of Wed. So I have some time. Painter Lee has agreed to give me the truck back after scuffing the first coat of clear so I can drive to
the striper for some of Kevin's tasty work. Kevin lives about 45 miles away...which is a bummer for me....but his work, as evidenced on the pics attached...

First one is shortly after I first got the 72 back (in '03), but barely shows the stripes. The second pic is the 72 in the local show last Saturday which was put on by the guy who
bought the '72 from me a few years ago.

The stripes on the '72 were put on *over* the clear-coat. I didn't want to do that then, but the '72 was in paint jaul for 56 weeks after a 16 week promise
(Not Lee...someone no longer in business...). I wanted her back. So I was "forced" to do it that way.

Kevin is good, for sure. But he likes a little direction. On the '72, I told him to flame it all over, but make them subtle enough so they only really stand
out when someone comes close. This, happily enough for me, was what he came up with.

Can any or all of you show me some ideas, or give me some pics that will help me show Kevin some "tailored" stripes....I like the flames. Still do. But I'm
twelve years older now. And this one's going Palladium Silver Metallic (same as on the Mercedes, here). It probably calls for something a little more "quiet"

We had to pass up a vacation and hock the dog for the paint money, so I don't want to go into the stripes blind.
I'd really appreciate some pics, if possible.
