    I second how fantastic the wood work is. Well done!

    As to pinstripes, I turned my T-bucket over to a pinstriper I had known for years and trusted. He was an artist as much as a pinstriper. He said he had a few ideas that were different from mine, but as I said, I trusted him. He pinstriped the whole car in ways and places I would never have thought of. The overall effect was to absolutely enhance and finish the car. I never made any appearance changes after that. As I said, he was an artist and thought differently than I did.

    Go for it!

    I'd think that following Mike and Roger's advice would be the best bet...
    Just my 2 cents worth.
