The grandson of an Oklahoma moonshine runner and the son of a 1950's pinstriper, Skratch started working on hot rods at age 16 in Fort Worth, Texas because it was in his blood.  Soon, he had established a money making business buying and selling used Camaro parts locally.  With an ever growing appetite for cars, he soon started buying cars outside the city, fixing them up and selling them for profit.  By the age of 20, he had rented his first shop and began modding 1950's Oldsmobiles and Chevrolets.  At age 26, he quit and moved to the West Coast - the U.S. capital of Hot Rods.  Soon, his pinstriping talents were noticed by various builders at events, and his new career in L.A. was born...Skratch's Garage.

As Skratch began to fabricate and pinstripe for various owners and builders...A following started to build.  Soon, his work could be seen in national magazines from Rod & Custom to Ol' Skool Rodz and from Lowrider Magazine to Burnout Magazine.  An art form normally reserved for the old codgers of hot rodding now had a young new face - striping everything from hot rods and lowriders to choppers and refrigerators.  When he wasn't hitting car shows or doing custom striping, he could be found in Skratch's Garage in Sun Valley, CA working on a growing list of metal fabrications projects and custom builds.

We love Skratch!  Especially when he does striping for the ladies, with his 1 3/4"?? Squirrel hair striping brush (I forgot the length but I think it's towards 2").  And specialty custom art  for us too!!

Sweet...Gotta have the extra special flare.  This pinstriping vibe is DEF a good secret, magnet, weapon for getting the hotties.  I'm still working on getting my moped gang together.  So excited right now...And he stripes helmets too. I'm going stealth vibe though.  And... he is doing my hot rod, but I'm kinda thinking I'm gonna do the 47 Chevy truck vibe still...But...I want one of those Ford Coupe things too (I like those rusty ones), with a hat to match!!  I also heard that, matte black and primer is kinda played (I didn't think that could ever get played, but I guess that's the case these days....).  So we decided that I'm gonna do this matte navy, midnight blue vibe.  Shhh don't tell!   Cause nobody really knows about these dark matte colors....I've been working on being open minded and sharing lately, so...I'm filling you in on one of my secret spots (Skratch's Garage  www.skratchsgarage.net).
