Default Old school pinstriped!

So when I got this car it already had a custom vibe with Cragar SS wheels and an odd single purple stripe around the mid-line. Behind the purple stripe is a slight white gradient beneath the clear coat. I didn't dig it very much but I wasn't going to re-paint the whole car. So I hired an old-school pinstriper to come over and lay down some thin purple and lighter yellow stripes.

Very nice! I don't dig the white gradient on the hood either, but that pin striping does help hide it.

Mine has a few spots of striping around it.

This was hand painted at a car show last summer by a local pin striper.
My wife hates the colors but it is different.
