Stripes

[coup in australia]

Anyone have dimensions for stripes on the coupe?

Have the same question, hope to see a response.

I have never seen a "standard" stripe size on the original coupes, and not for lack of research. I have a picture of CSX2287 in my office and it looks like 6.5" to 6.75", but definitely no more than seven, with no discernable taper on the hood. I think the 2601 car is pretty much the standard Cobra dimensions that can be found online. There is a PDF/diagram floating around on the internet, which I think was made by ERA.

I made my stripes a little wider, with a little more of a taper, to facilitate taping around the hood bulge, and would recommend the same for anyone who is not a pro at painting stripes. I posted those dimensions in a thread titled "72 Hours of Sugar, Caffeine and Isocyanates." Hope this helps.

Has anyone cone stripes with vinyl sheet or car wrap type material?
