Pinstriping 1956 Ford Kustom

So last week my friend Adam from APG customs in Tooele called me asking if I could come out and pinstripe a car at his shop, now if you know Adam he is normally working on a pretty cool project so when he explained that the car was an old kustom from the Tooele area I was excited. If you are wondering why when I reference the car I spell kustom with a K it is because this is a certain style of custom car. These cars normally have extensive body modifications and sometimes outrageous paint jobs, this one is no exception. The car is covered in a House of Kolor Kandy tangerine and then has traditional style flames over the hood, tops of the front fenders and down the door bottoms. There is also quite a bit of pinstriping is why I had the opportunity to get involved with this project. See the car is driven (as all cars should be) and had an unfortunate run in with some deer, so I needed to match the old pinstriping to the areas that were repaired and got to add my own piece to the front of the hood and outlined the flames. Thanks Adam for the chance to work on this car.
