Finally time for rocker stripes

[lawrence67]

I seem to remember a drawing that placed the bottom stripe thin line along 1\4"above the door bottom.  Is that accurate?
Thanks,

that sounds about right

So where do you buy the correct strip for a 67 GT350 one that gives you enough stripe to actually reach the fender and wrap around. Quick mock up and you can clearly see the problem

Show a  picture of the opposite end of the door with the stripe mocked up . As long as you have extra at the other end of the door(latch end) you can cut and wrap around what you need on the fender end and slide the strip forward so you have enough to wrap around the fender end door edge.

So yes I thought of splicing it in, by taking the extra on both sides and doing just that, but then I thought.....it would looked "fixed" there just is not enough to slide the middle over with the soap/water either, and that would rust it looking off.

OK, now that you posted a photo of what you have to work with, it does look as though you have a '68 stripe section.

Not sure how long ago you got those from Branda, but you might see if you can get an exchange of the whole kit or just those two (each side) front segment.  If just the front sections be sure the blues match before installation.

i would always change the entire side stripe on a car I owned rather then patch in a section . New or not there can be slight variations in shade from one batch of stripe from the MFG to the next.Best of luck on getting the problem solved and moving on.

Good news, I got a new set of stripes from Brenda, I wrote in the notes that they were to be for a 67 Shelby and needed to have the correct placement for the front fender. Something I did not realize was that the stripes are actually bigger than a 66 stripe. This post helped a ton as I became obsessed as I know something did not look right with the smaller stripes. The first picture is the correct stripe kit, notice the "GT350" and the actually stripes how much access there is for the fender and the placement of the GT350.

Based on a recent BaT listing here is an example of the '67 stripes not correct and correct...
