My good buddy Daniel, Deuce on the HAMB, came over and laid some stripes on my cars and guitars today. I have more shots on my blog if you want to check them out! 1950 Merc dash... Back of the roadster... Guitar stuff...
Very nice. What amazes me most, is what that little bit does for the dash. Without the striping at the middle, it was just one big long slab of black dashboard. But that small ammount of "embelishment" splits the dash, and gives it symmetry. I'm going to have to remember that.
It took me over 20 years to finally even do that much, but the dash always drove me nuts in the car. I still don't have a single stripe on the outside of the car...I have always wanted my Merc to be on the subtle side of things. The simple lines break it up very nice.
Very nice! Clean lines and design and not overdone.The dash is perfect.Don't know how many times I have striped dashboards and had the customer come back a couple weeks later asking how to get it off the dash because the reflections of the lines in the windshield(double imaged because of the laminated glass)was driving him nuts!
