Lucky Stripes & Signs

In 1980, a young wrangler named Tom left the tiny town in Delaware where he grew up and headed W to Gallup, New Mexico, on Highway 66 in a van lettered, appropriately enough, HAVE GUNS - WILL TRAVEL. Building on his mobile striping business, he founded himself as a top body/paint man and as director at TD Auto, a business in which he was co-owner. After selling this business, the gunslinger then moseyed on over to Albuquerque in '92 for nice where he established Lucky Stripes.
