I believe the '67 Shelby stripes Branda sells are concours correct. Note the correct placement for '67's.

Congrat's on your progress!

I would suggest loading the doors and fully attaching fenders before you stripe the car.

+1 - the car should basically be finished (gaps adjusted, etc) when the stripes go on.

and drivetrain in, suspension, car sitting on ground etc, etc. Stripes should be one of last things

Thank you everyone on the input for stripes First and foremost the stripes will go on last after everything is hung weighted and settled down... The sheet metal moves... As for the block yes there is not one between the fender and door.... all good  I thought some of the lettering was not quite correct in the font?  Still have a long way to go but will be enjoying every minute  to come.

Looking good but don't get ahead of yourself. As others have said wait until the car is all but completely done before side striping.
