    We just drug my 55' stude from Texas to South Carolina for some lettering and a bit of pinstriping by my good friend Ed Crews. (Edwierd here on the HAMB) Am I the only one crazy enough to do this? (travel that far, not whether to use Ed or not.) Been trying for a couple of years to pull this off. Going to Florida for business and a bit of vacation, dropped the car off on the way. Heres a before pic at sunset between Atlanta and Augusta Ga. More to follow IMG_20150807_200450104.jpg

  2. Ed's a good guy and does great work,you won't be disappointed. HRP
     
  3. I think that's a great idea for a trip. There is a thread or two with his brushwork and I think he does an amazing job. Make sure you post lots of pics.

    Yes, he's a good guy and does super work, can't wait to see it finished. I had few ideas on what to do, he has already come up with some better. I can't wait to see it finished. Here's a teaser of what's to come. IMG_20150730_044237875.jpg

    It was about 100 degrees with talk of 102, when we left the car the other day. Glad he has got some shade to work in. Here's another shot. Can't wait to see it all done. 1703.jpeg

    Hi Stude

    Are you going to have some pinstriping too?

    Can you post any pics of your engine, is it Hilborn injected

    Thanks, Don

    I gave Ed some scribblings I had done for ideas, and told him its your canvas, have at it. Pinstriping was discussed but I really don't know. Some day I would love to have hilborn injection, for now it's just an 850 demon.

    You guys remember Roger Penske's blue Sunoco Indy & Can-Am race cars always had a little yellow striping on them, a little touch of class is ' Priceless '
