G'day David
That gold stripe is no way near what it should be and as most of you know I sell the stripes on ebay.
This is not a promo for me but simply to show you what the side stripe should look like at the point.
AND this is the car that the measurements and front TRACINGS were taken off.
It is an Acacia Ridge built car and still had the original stripes on it albeit in not good condition but usable for me.
I found this car for a friend and it had been sitting in a farm house for over 15 years which is fairly obvious.
I still maintain that no car is 100% original as there were mistakes made on the production line because the cars were assembled at a frantic pace. I have proof to back up that statement.
Saying all of that, there would be a standard for originality but there are certainly variants of that standard ie badges not quite in the right spot, parts not quite aligned when assembled, different trims thrown on etc. It did happen.
This car is a good example of that as it was suppose to have black trim but had Black seats and white door and white back side trims.
It is better to have them sprayed on but if originality is what you want then the shape above is very close. That is not the correct size as it has been resized for image posting.
I am currently working on a "masking" vinyl product for those who want to spray them on. This vinyl can be peeled off after spraying leaving the painted on stripe.
The first 60cm is the crucial part to get right.
Hope this helps, regards ................. Barry
