Watched this several times and watching him striping still gives me goosebumps. Being a retired mechanic and car nut, I like doing my own work, and always take time to draw or doodle things. I'm newly working with airbrushes, and the last 2-3 years, pinstriping. I have a real appreciation for the craft. Only laid stripes on my 72 Datsun 510 to date, and a couple stools, tool boxes and all the TV remotes in the house. Love the small signature, like Von Dutch used to do.
Pete, if you choose to put music in video, you shouldnt mute, play, mute, play, mute... it doesnt sound good. Instead of muting it, put it in, just with little volume.
I had to call my wife in the room to watch this video. even a rough tough guy like you can show compassion and love for a true friend. he had a true passion for his work as do you and i. very sad video. Excellent tribute to your friend. great job Pete.
well pete you did a good job on the video even though its a shame such a legend passed seems like all the good ones are leavin us behind. but as i learned life is not guaranteed to last forever just got to live it to the fullest and do it right till the end comes whenever that will be R.I.P. james crawford
Nice that Mercury has mystic paint on it like the 96 SVT cobras. It's sad to know he's not around anymore to make cool shit for us to look at. Man they aren't kidding when they say its a dying art. = (
Thanks Pete, really appreciate the way you always get the right things said and done. James will be around for a long time to come because of what people like you do with the things he has done... Cool video man!
Truly remarkable,and very touching to hear and learn about this. The mark of a true Master, being generous and sharing techniques in his trade. Excellence in action.
And by seeing this I feel humbled and rewarded at the same time.
Wow great artist and I know a good man by seeing all the cars there to support
