I started pinstriping in 1983. Should have started much sooner! I call myself a "serious hobby 'striper" in that I have such an interest in street rodding and car building I don't have enough time for 'striping on a regular basis. But when I do stripe I am very serious and determined. I have done over 230 cars however and have given many seminars on a group and individual basis on 'striping. I find striping very satisfying and take pride in my work.
