Help with pin stripe location

[Beep Beep]

Hi,

I am trying to determine what is the correct location of the V7w painted on pin stripe on my 69 RR. I have searched everywhere, and have come up with several different answers. Would anyone know what is the correct measurement for the stripe from the body line? I know the stripe is 1/8 painted and ends before the quarter extension. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a 68. On a 68 it's a Black rectangle on the hood.

I found the measurements and correct paint code online - Authentic Restoration (Product?) (But I did have to dig)
Good Luck!

Hi Rumrunner,

I was referring to the pin stripe that runs along the entire body line

I have this somewhere. I need to look at my notes.

Hi RonLiv,

That would be great.

"The accent stripe was a singular painted stripe applied to the quarter panel, door, and fender by a machine with rollers on the assembly line. The stripe is 1/8 inch in thickness with the top of it starting 5/8 inch below the top of the quarter panel, door and fender. The stripe begins at the taillight assembly and traverses the car, ending 5 5/8 inches from the leading edge of the fender. At the front of the car there should be an 1/8 inch angle where the top edge comes to a triangular point on the bottom edge of the stripe. It is correct to wrap the stripe around the edges of the doors, fenders, and quarters."

Thank you very much for the information. I will definitely order that book. The front measurement is 5 5/8 ?
