Hey Velo,
Very nice build so far.
I looked up Steve Kafka, and all I can say is DAAAHYEM SON! He's got serious skills!
I feel so happy for you to have such a mind-freaking genius pinstriper working on your bike. From what I've seen, he has "taken it to another level", as they say.
And the restoration of the Von Dutch Bus/Shop/house is nothing less than Smithsonian worthy. I saw an art show consisting of a Von Dutch section with some salvaged metal panels, along with a photo of Von Dutch inside the bus. I always wondered what happened to that bus. He is an influential and important American Fine Artist, in my mind.
Thanks for the Steve Kafka link. Makes me want to attempt and learn pinstriping.
Good luck with the completion of your build.
Gilbert
