Pin Stripes Anyone?

I'm considering pin striping (hand not vinyl). Looking for ideas. Anyone got pics of a pin striped Challenger?

I've seen pics of cars that had hand painted pin stripes on this site, but I can't remember who they belonged too. They are here, though.

I also was looking at having painted pin stripes and know I have seen one that a lady had on a white car but I have done searches to find it again and nothing so far. I bought some vinyl ones at the store for $3.29 1/4" but it hasn't been warm enough to put them on yet. I figure I can get an idea if I like them or not and remove them after looking. My wife thinks I should go with 1/8 inch so next time I'm at the store will need to get another package. Figure after putting them on and seeing if I like them or not and if it's not it cost a lot less money.

I've been wanting to show these off to someone who might appreciate them for a while now. Sorry the pics aren't the greatest and that she's so dirty but i wanted to show them anyway.

Nice touch. They stand out very nice. I had the pinstripe added to the lower body line had considered the upper but after putting stripes on both spots decided I liked the lower better. I also had engine cover painted Toxic. My only problem with that is now I have to show the car for others to enjoy what I had done.
Here's a photo of show with my engine cover. Can't really see stripes unless your by the car or in right lighting, they don't show good on photo.

Here's one other show I did again engine cover shows well.


I really think Toxic looks great next to PCP, or any other color Challenger, first photo has Hemi and Toxic next to each other. Pinstripes don't show well in photos but they are there. Enjoy the ride.

The gentleman who did my stripes was definitely an old timer. His shop is in upland though. Is it the guy?

Robert Gagnon is his name. He's on old school striper. Very good and very reasonable. No shop, per se. In most cases he comes to you. Check out some of his work her:
