Hey everyone, I need some help with the stripes on my car and I know you all would be my best bet on this.
I've got a 73 roadrunner clone that's currently in the shop to get repainted. I'm going back with the original lemon twist yellow paint and black stripes. The guy painting the car wants to paint the stripes and is adamant he can match the original decals with references. At first I was skeptical, but he's shown me other cars he's done where he's painted the stripes on and they look spot on. I gave him some pictures I found online of different angles of the car, but he said if I could get him some pictures with measurements it would be even better.
Basically what I need are the dimensions and the location of the main stripe that goes across the roof and down the sides. (I already have the hood stripe decal installed on the car that I can use as a reference for that.) I want to go with the strobed roof stripes so if anyone could actually count the sections that go across the roof that'd be helpful too. I think there's 10 or 12 but I'm not sure. Another thing that'd be super helpful is some measurements on the road runner letters just below the running birds on the stripe. He plans on airbrushing those on.
If anyone's willing to post some pictures with some measurements I'd be eternally grateful! Anything at all will be a big help! Thanks!
Here's the stripe I'm talking about:
