Gene Weaver's 32 Roadster

I first met Gene Weaver when after seeing his incredible 54 Chevy which is one of the most beautiful cars on road. I was pretty stoked when he stopped by the booth last weekend and asked me if I'd be interested in putting something on his roadster. I had walked by the roadster on Thursday and only paused momentarily to check it out before looking past it to drool over his 54 once more but in that momentary glance I noticed it was naked and took a few seconds to picture what I'd do to if given the opportunity. I think it's something all pinstripers do to cars they pass. So when I gave the opportunity i knew exactly what I wanted to do and he was game...so ran with it...simple, clean as I could, white stripes. It's a pretty high tech roadster really with the Jaguar rearend, digital dash, billet accesories, woven enterior and disc brakes...but i still had to go traditional with it. I did have a little trouble at first because the car is glass and the static electricity was playing hell with my brush but once we got it wiped down real good with some cold water I was able to pull my lines...in the end he was happy and so was I.
