Event Coverage The Ultimate Hot Rod Party

I was lucky enough to be invited to bring my car and do some pinstriping & lettering for the Austin Hatcher Foundation "Pistons & Fenders" benefit party tonight. You can't have a party at a better place than the Coker Tire museum. By far the coolest party I've ever been to. Corky Coker is quite the entertainer (dressed as Teddy Roosevelt) and his collection is second to none. Here's a few pics, hope you guys enjoy them.

More and a few from yesterday when we were setting up.

 

I had no idea they had all those cars at Coker Tire. Can you tour the museum or is it private? Looks like a great time.

 

You can tour the museum. I have a bunch more pics of the cars, just haven't loaded them yet.

Been lettering since the '80's but the striping is a late addition to the resume. You've been around me enough to know that it has to be a pretty special occasion to get me dressed up.

Your welcome.

Thanks bro.

Yep, and a couple of Corky's Excelsior motorcycles came from the Picker guys. He has 37 of them...!

Looks like an awesome collection of cars and bikes. Nice pinstriping, always amazed at the talent this takes and patience to produce some cool artwork.
