Don Coatney Posted April 22, 2019 Report Posted April 22, 2019 Where did you find your car and who did the pin stripe work? Quote
Cold Blue Posted April 22, 2019 Report Posted April 22, 2019 Don - I found the car not too far from where I live in Murfreesboro, in a little town called Rover. I do not know who had it before the guy I bought it from. The pin stripe work was done by Killer Designs by Darin Allen. He is a noted pin-striper; he has won the Easyrider's Builders Class Show and Sturgis Rat's Hole award, done striping for F1 cars for Gene Simmons of Kiss, and Gene Wilder, to name just a few. He did sign his work - if you look closely at the photo with the intricate pattern you can see a very small "Killer d" just above the dark blue loop at the bottom of the photo. 1 Quote
Cold Blue Posted April 22, 2019 Report Posted April 22, 2019 And Don - notice that the "WE" in the "WE JUST WANTA HAVE FUN" script was added by the guy I bought it from and is poorly done. I am going to have that removed. Quote

Frank Elder Posted April 22, 2019 Report Posted April 22, 2019 No Mr. Cold Blue....lol.....Don will tell you the "Rest of the Story" when he logs back on. 1 Quote
Don Coatney Posted April 22, 2019 Author Report Posted April 22, 2019 There is a guy who lives near Murfreesboro who uses the screen name of GATOR (pictured below) on a few hot rod forums who does pin striping. He belongs to the poor boys club. I am sure you will run into many poor boys at the shows in your area. I am surprised I never saw your car at any shows when I lived there. 1 Quote
Cold Blue Posted April 23, 2019 Report Posted April 23, 2019 Found a way to get rid of that poorly done "WE" in the pin striping script.....Killer D meant it to say "Just wanta have fun". Went to a body shop and they advised that matching the paint was pretty near impossible, so no painting over the "WE". I had a ROUTE 66 fridge magnet, and I just hid the "WE" with it. I think it looks super! 1 1 Quote
