Vintage Pin Stripin' & Letterin'


Here's a great set of snaps, paying homage to Ol' Skool Stripin' & Letterin'.


Classic three colour letterin' with a drop shadow, wicked. All the pics are via: Joe Grippo.


Don't even need to look under the hood, the stripin' says it all.




No stickers on these old racers... just a steady hand, good brush and lots of paint.


Ha, sweet!




Great old artwork.


More classic letterin'. That door is just screamin' to be turned into a Hot Rod T-shirt.



A few striped & lettered helmets.


Looks like somebody was wearing a hawk/polo style helmet way before Jesse James ever did.


The variety of font styles the old boys used, just seems endless.


'Big Daddy' in gold leaf.


Self deprecating humour... a pin striper after my own heart.


The irony was just too much to pass on this pic. Ya gotta love it!
