As always, click on images to see the full-size versions. Reflective Red Rimstripes on a 1951 Ford
Paul Abbate bought a set of
6017 Reflective Red Rimstripes from us back in 2015. He recently sent us an email wanting to change things up and asked for our method of removing rimstripes (we plan to make "Removing Old Decals" the topic of an upcoming newsletter).
Out of curiosity, Rob asked Paul what car he had installed them on.
Paul said they were on his custom 1951 Ford coupe. So, of course, we needed pics. And WOW. We couldn't NOT share these photos with all of you, so here they are!
That photo in front of the Texaco station is one of the coolest customer pictures we've ever received!
Paul had the following to say about his '51 Ford after we found ourselves awestruck by his pics and we wanted the scoop:
Thanks, 1951 Ford Custom, 302 FI crate, AOD, Currie 9", Posie springs, Fatman front clip, pwr. r & p, coilovers up front, Vintage a/c & heat, Cooling Components fan, Walker radiator, Ididit tilt, pwr. windows, door & trunk poppers, Newport Engineering wipers, full custom interior & trunk, square weave carpeting, nosed, decked & peaked, all stock working guages, too much to list.
And she's for sale... asking $37,500
That seems like a steal to us. If you're interested in buying the car, contact Paul via email: pnabbate@frontier.com or call him at 219-242-1928.
That's it for this week!

As always, Tapeworks welcomes your photos of your bike or car! Just a couple things - please tell us what your vehicle is and what you put on it, and send a few high-resolution photos of closeups as well as wide shots of the whole vehicle to info@tapeworks.com.
Also, if any of you have installed reflective rimstripes, we'd love to get some day and night shot to add to the gallery and on the product pages. To get good night shots, position the vehicle on a dark street, stand far back from the vehicle, and use flash. They can be hard to photograph so try several different distances and be sure to brace the camera against something fixed so you get a sharp picture.
And if you've got some sort of testimonial, send it on over, whether it's good or bad!
