Only YOU can prevent forest fires...

Here's my new project. This will be my "shop truck" until my Apache is done. So far I've just tried to make it more mine with a mild lowering job and some paint work. Inspiration struck the night before I was going to paint it and we decided to go with a Forest Service theme...my uncle Bern L would be proud! I'm not done with the paint yet, I still have some distressing and pinstriping to do but I couldn't wait to share my new truck! I always get excited with a new one!

Let there be rock...

So my buddy Rhett is a guitarist and he is having a custom guitar built by my other buddy Jared who is a guitar expert...somehow in the middle of this madness I was asked to do a custom paint and pinstripe job. I started out by painting the guitar black and then marbling it with color change pearl paint. Follow that with some airbrush work and about eight coats of clear...and of coarse some freestyle stripes!

I hope you enjoy it Rhett...you better drop my name in your next album credits! ;)


Thanks again, and rock until you die...

A new face...

This entry really doesn't have anything to do with pinstriping per say...well, maybe a little bit. :) My new logo for my blog is a truck I recently acquired that I am turning into my "shop truck"...The header/logo as usual is courtesy of my wife Michelle...mad props to her! So new face on my blog and a soon to be new face in my life as well.

We found out yesterday that we are having a baby girl!!! The due date is June 13, and we went and picked her up some Pink Chuck Taylors yesterday! We already have names written down too. Michelle is stuck on Sophie and Madeline and I'm hooked on Lux or Langley for now...feel free to weigh in or give suggestions! :)

Thanks for listening to my ramblings...



And a few pics of the truck:
