Just started striping a few months ago, and im still learnin....I love all aspects of traditional hot rods ,and my influences are Kenneth Howard (duh), Tom Van Nortwick, Tommy "the greek", and so forth..I recently had an oppurtunity to spend some time with Tom Van Nortwick, and I learned more in few hours with him than I could with weeks of reading, so Thanx, Tom!!
