Thanks to encouragement from Bart Mack, I got stripes at the Dragon. I noticed all the cars with Georgia plates had the best stripes, then someone told me that Eric of Mile Marker Graphics was the artist responsible. I was lucky enough to get him to do my car without driving to Atlanta, so how do you like it?

AprilWhine · May 2nd, 2004, 08:07 PM

It's three stripes, one copper and two white stripes, but only on one side of the car.

AprilWhine · May 3rd, 2004, 01:12 AM

It would go well with the EB, but it goes even better with my SG.

Time to get a color monitor.

Thanks Max.

Thanks mate, but I like the asymetric look.

whovous · May 3rd, 2004, 02:48 AM

Definitely stay with the asymetric.

dr remulac · May 4th, 2004, 07:48 AM

There's a name for that type of striping (one long over the car offset to driver's side)
but I'm too damn old to remember... It was really popular in the mid-sixties
and really looked great on those early Mustangs.

I definately like it, April.

Did the asymetric stripe over the driver's side not denote rookie driver on the race track and for other drivers to take care passing?

AprilWhine · May 4th, 2004, 10:15 AM

Thanks ScottyB!

It's very sexy, baby, yeah.

If the Fuzzy One thinks the same........look out!

Sherry,
I didn't get a chance to see your car after you got the stripes. I can't wait to see it in person. Here is what Eric did for me. At a later date I am going to get viper stripes. Maybe I’ll take a trip to Georgia.

Rich_IX · May 7th, 2004, 06:29 PM

Looks good guys

moorlockx · May 7th, 2004, 10:16 PM

Welcome to the offset stripe world Sherry! Looks good....good call on the color.

Andyupnorth.... good to see racing history revealed. I briefly thought about that when I did my striping but succumbed to the look anyway!

gramirez · May 7th, 2004, 11:12 PM

AprilWhine.-

What is Eric doing on the 4th picture you sent?

He is too far from the stripes....

BTW: The stripes look great, nice car.

Regards

Guillermo

AprilWhine · May 7th, 2004, 11:18 PM

Thanks Rich!

Nicky, I love it! We have to do a HR meet soon, just to admire the new decorations. I'll go start a thread today.

To be honest, I didn't think I'd like it when I first saw it, but I do

Very nice, and original
