Hey Stevet ----- I'm glad to see someone of your age standing up for a legend. I'm surprised that people still know who Von Dutch was (however I'm just getting back into rodding after close to 40 years and am not too well read on just who the pinstriping Gurus are today). I grew up in the San fernando valley in the 50's and met Von Dutch once. He used to pin stripe cars and bikes in the back of Bud Ekin's (another legend)Motorcycle shop. Even owned a bike for awhile that he striped. He was that BEST. Glad to see he's remembered. Happy New Year.
