When I was 17 I sent a letter to Howard and asked for help and he answered me with a drawing called " Viking on roller skates" and a letter on how to mis paint ( I used signwriters titainium white) in a tube, add Japan dryer, load the grumbacher striping brush ( still have it ) that was the brush at the time. I used Mack and Grums, as we called them. Nothing else was offered back in the 50's, I'm 84 years old now and still stripe. It's a lost art now only a few left that still do it on a regular basis. I use one shot lettering paint now and with the wrap stuff offered and decals that will go away in the future. I was also taught by Tommy the Greek in his Oakland shop, he was the best line striper I have ever seen to date, he ws a great guy.

I stopped by after continuing my quest for family history. I try to remember there were not that many people, cities, or towns around but, I have several over laps. I am related to the Earps on my mother’s maternal side. On an related to Johnny Ringo on my mother’s paternal side. To have them come to hate/dislike each other after having been in the same areas of Missouri with my other relation Jesse James seems crazy. Especially since we live so close to Tombstone today. I’m a believer in the golden ratio. Thanks for this information. Big Nose Kate is revered for her willingness to help others, even at the risk of her own life. Whore or not, she was a great woman and I am kind of sad she met my ancestor’s wife.

This place, and this man, are true legends in the story of the American West. Don promoted the area to visitors, and his collection of vehicles gathered from hills, valleys and abandoned properties into one place, restoring alot of them beautifully is a story itself. R.I.P.

Steve said his goal was to make it “as if Dutch had just stepped out for a smoke.” Well, I think you absolutely NAILED it. When Steve gave me a tour of the bus 5-6 years ago it was almost surreal and very much felt that way. I very much enjoyed the time with Steve and very grateful for the private tour, attention to detail in the restoration (even down to the cigarette butts) and the striping lesson. Thank you very much Steve!
