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 new young 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 fabrication projects and custom builds.
