1967 Custom stripes
« on: November 07, 2018, 02:15:19 PM »
Hey There...............

Looking for info on who offers a complete vinyl SS type stripe kit (covering the front nose extending down the side of body just past the door) as on a 1968 with exact fit on a 1967 hardtop in RED. I've scoured the net with no success. Any verified sources will be greatly appreciated.

Good luck. I don’t know of anything like that available. You might be able to have a local company custom make what you want. Try one of the places that offers vehicle “wraps”.

Try Stencil & Stripes. A friend ordered a kit from them & they ask if he wanted them in a stripe kit or a mask kit...Joe

Stencils & Stripes or Phoenix Graphix. Best of luck. I tried S&S years ago for a bumblebee stripe stencil and last week was a Phoenix stencil for a 442. Ended up masking the bumblebee freehand and did the same with the 442.

You are not going to find a vinyl stripe kit for the front header and fenders because the compound curves will not allow it to fit correctly.

People wrap entire cars these days so I would think a compound curve could be dealt with.

Wraps are different from stencils or decals. Been in the business for decades and still hand letter and pinstripe. With the Olds AIM I provided, P.G. is still in the process of dealing with the compound curves and layout with the incorrect 442 stencils.  They will be refunding my money.
 
One option is to lay it out by hand. If a tape width is not available off the shelf, just have your local sign shop cut it in Gerbermask, which is what graphics companies use. Some use inferior mask which results in bleedthrough. Or try Finesse Striping. Any knowledgeable restoration shop will have all this info. If one provides a sign shop with dimensions, a stencil or decal can easily be cut.
