Hassle FiascoHi Letterheads and fellow PinHeads! I'm Hassle Fiasco, a Saggitarian born in 1943, pinstriper since 1954 and traveller since 1960. I now take up residence in my mind on the beach in Pattaya, Thailand, who some call the last frontier. I have pinstriped many car collections for private persons as well as the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada, where I striped the famous 1932 Hispano-Suiza dual cowl convertible which sold for a cool million dollars at 'The Auction'. Though I have travelled most of my life, I also have settled in both warm and cold places on this planet, always in search of the lost art. I have pinstriped for Ford, Cadillac, Zimmer and a few Piano and Safe companies. I love what I do, putting together colour combinations that some can only dream of. I am also into building fast cars, motorcycles and love travelling in my classic motorhome with my two doggies when I return to the States. I am now single and fall in love all the time. In my travels, I have met and worked with such names as Duke Ash, the famous carnival artist, Emmette Morelli, show card sign artist and Mark Klein, both pinstriper and sign designer. I have taken on other jobs during my early life and was a shirt designer in the sixies where I befriended and made shirts for Tony Curtis, John Lennon, Jim Morrison, Johnny Carson, Jimi Hendrix and Sammy Davis Jr. among a host of others. I've even done LSD with Eric Burden of the Animals. These days as I travel towards my golden years I find myself designing more tools of my trade including the Inflite', the worlds finest portable rolling work cart which I have manufactured and became sole distributor for. As I reach my goal in life I have noticed I've also become a collector of Tattoos and hope to have a body suit before I am history.
