Today I picked up the first proofs of the hood stripe. They came out nice, but not yet ready for prime time!
Among a few other things, on this set the printers ran the white out past the interior clear reveal, but that's an easy fix.
I am going to tweak the dimensions a bit here and there, but all in all for a first run I'm very pleased.
Some of the pictures are a little hard to visualize since I've applied the stripe over a painted stripe on my hood.
I fashioned the hood stripe after two NOS stripes and dimensions from CCIE3611 (Brent), a forum member who has an original striped unrestored '72 TA.
One interesting note is when the stripes are centered over the shaker opening, the distance from the front edge of hood to beginning of the stripe is 1 1/16". Brent's car is the same. The proof is fashioned this way, however, it is different than the assembly manual sketch which shows 7/8" from edge of hood to stripe.
