If I tried that it would look like a seismograph printout. Those guys who know how to pinstripe make it look so easy. I watched the guy at the Triumph factory put the belt stripe on a Thunderbird in one continuous motion. Amazing stuff.

Yes, but I see a million kids wearing T shirts who wouldn't have clue who Kenny Howard was...love pin striping, Yosemite Sam one of the greats lives near me and still works /teaches the art of fine pinstriping. Dave Connery in Toronto is also very good.
