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

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.

EXACTLY!! It was made just for that truck. That is artwork. That is hand work. That is true custom.
