    For those of you with stripes on your trunk. Could you tell me the width of the stripe and the width of the area between the stripes.
    Thanks, Darrel

    I striped the bulge in the hood....then I made the stripe on the roof and down the back as wide as the back of the bulge in the hood.

    That is my orange car I had back in the late 80's. Read about it here: http://www.maverickcorral.homestead.com/first73.html

    Sorry...no pictures from the front. Here is one from the side:

    My 1972 Grabber is loosely based on this car. A better, FASTER version of that one.

    Stripe is 7" ( that's with the 1/4' outline) and it's 2 1/4 ' from the center line of the trunk lid. Meaning it's 4 1/2" between the two stripes.

    Thanks Tom :tiphat:. That's funny you posted that pic, as that's roughly the colors I'm working with.
