The Beginning

Every first Friday of every month theres an event held called Friday Fest. Has anything from custom bikes to those all show muscle cars. Now Panama City doesnt offer much in culture so you take what you can at this event. A couple of hot rods here and there but they look as though someone bought it out of a magazine, which is good enough for some. But for the first time a couple rat rods rolled into town. Admiring the beauty of this machine painted by nature, I saw a sticker that said "The last person that touched my rat rod is in my backyard."  Before this moment I always had to resort to magazines like Rebel Rods, and Ratrod to enjoy the look of these machines. Walkin up and down the car I saw some of the best pinstriping. That old school look. I knew then I had to get in on this dying art.
My fiance surprised me one day with 3 Mack brushes, and two cans of One Shot. But sadly it took me almost a year to finally pick it up. Between working and going through some rough times it was hard to find the time.
Around May of this year I went through my stuff grabbed that paint, and those brushes and I never looked back.
Here's a few pictures of my very first stripes back in May.
