Topic: 1967 GT Stripe Dimensions (Early San Jose Cars)

[67gtasanjose]

Yes it is. Notice that the pinch welds were not blacked out on these cars.  Car sure sits low for some reason but love those thin middle spaced sidewalls

Got a bunch of the film strips with these cars sitting around. Wonder how much hassle it would be to convert them to some mpg we could publish to the site. Just another project

Yes, a few other problems with that example, no mirror or antenna (radio delete?)

Just for clarification... as the rocker moldings were a different option in 67 (not included in the exterior decor group)?
Meaning that it must be specified on the Marti report?
Or not?
I have original rocker panel moldings and a exterior decor option, but that (= rocker molding) is not mentioned on my Marti report...
Kind regards,
Jeroen

I already ordered a set earlier this morning. I see Chad also offers a set of the typically found (wider) version as well and has other Mustang stripe kits for multiple years and applications with a notation of Ford Licensed.

,,,I will offer an image of the product alongside a NOS Ford set I have.

My order just marked as "SHIPPED" today, I noticed two things since I placed the order on the 27th...
ONE: His eBay listing now shows the dimentions of the stripe that will be coming and they look to be consistent with the measurements previously mentioned in this thread.
TWO: His price went up a couple of dollars since the last three orders were placed.

(apparently two others following this thread have bought the stripes too I am not alone )

I think that the rocker panel mouldings were standard on the fastback.  This has been discussed on one or more threads, should be an easy search.

Nope, you are not alone and the dimensions weren't there...on eBay....when I ordered. Mine have shipped as well and I am looking forward to seeing them. The eBay seller is Chad White at Class-Tech-Cars, who I believe was referenced earlier in this thread.

Stripes arrived today, They measure 100% correct, best I can tell.

 I posted side by side images of my NOS (1980's?) set along side the reproduction set I just received, with the tape measure.

First, thanks for the reply John.
It looks that I also have to buy a set 
This was a very helpfull and learning thread.
Kind regards,

Stripes arrived today, They measure 100% correct, best I can tell.

 I posted side by side images of my NOS (1980's?) set along side the reproduction set I just received, with the tape measure.

Here's the measurements I got from the image:

                    L        R
Top stripe:        .48      .37
Top gap:           .27      .28
Middle stripe:    1.44     1.44
Bottom gap:        .26      .28
Bottom stripe:     .47      .37

Overall width:    2.91     2.74

They match within my approximate measurement error, except for the narrow stripes. The ones on the right are about .10" narrower (a little under 1/8"). Overall width was about .17" narrower on the right

Per the eBay seller, dimensions are within the images below: (top image is what we are calling "early", lower image is what the seller has for "late")

Old post, I know.

If you have any SCCA friends you should be able to find someone who does car numbers locally or on the web. Car numbers and other single color decals on race cars use exactly the same vinyls and processes as does these stripe kits. The number of colors available from vinyl vendors is amazing.

There are a number of hobbyists who own these vinyl cutting machines and can make them in any size.

Old topic I know.
In looked at the pic in a previous post it shows a 3/8" gap between the side of the strip and the GTA emblem.
I've been looking for info on the gap size for a GT car.  I thought the gap was a little larger on GT cars, maybe 1/2 inch.
Can anyone confirm or have the location of the holes for the GT emblems?

Thanks

Don't recall seeing any difference between the two side stripes and believe that they were all press set but let's see what some original paint cars have to offer if we can find three or four

From an old post on the VMF it seems the gap for GT emblems and inside the stripe was 1/2 inch but for GTA emblem was 3/8.
I also have not found anywhere that shows where the holes for the GT emblems go.  Gonna use stick on emblems for the car that's being worked on.
More margin for error or adjustment!
(actually not even sure if they sell stick on emblems for 67 GT...think I ran into this in the past!)

"An old thread on VMF"   IMHO that is reason enough to revisit the subject again

I wish to report a possible variation or error on placement of the GTA emblem and measurement in the mockup drawing posted in Reply #2.

Two early GTA cars have now been measured as well as many photographs viewed (without measurement of course) but placement in the previous Reply #2 image, indicates that the Rear Edge of the GTA emblem measures 5-3/4" (inches) from the rear edge of the fender however, at least on the two recently checked, the two both measure the same 5-3/4", but to the rear HOLE (on center) of the GTA emblem mounting post, not to the edge of the emblem itself.

I know this thread is about stripes and the good news is that Vendors like NPD now carry the stripes we began discussing in this thread  (perhaps as a result of this thread) but I thought it would be best to try and point out the variance or error of the measurements posted earlier.

Attached is a modification based upon recent measurements of two GTA'S, one early November and one Mid-December 66.
