I'll have to scan some. My dad's old custom '55 Chevy was just on the cover of the May or June issue of Northern Rodder magazine. He doesn't own it now, but it talks about him in the article because he pinstriped it and helped build it. He also just told me that he was asked to speak at the "Pinheads" Meet in Detroit in August ("Pinheads" is a nationwide organization of pinstripers which meets regularly across the country). When I was growing up, he would always be striping those semi trucks back when drivers wanted gold leaf and 15 different colors of striping on them. He would turn those trucks into works of art. I remember him pinstriping everthing from show cars to Harleys to bicycles. When I got my first guitar at 10 years old, I was the only kid at guitar lessons who showed up with a classical guitar that was wildly pinstriped in 3 colors. I didn't think much of it then, but I sure wish I still had that thing!
