Can anyone tell me what the width of the 3 stripes down the center of the hood on a 71 442 mine has the Y73 stripe. I am painting the car next week and would like to put it back the way it was from the factory.

Thanks, Terry

No it's not. The hood profile on 70 is completely different than 71.

The reason you can't find hood stripes for 71 non OAI is the only option for the stripe was Y73 - which was 3 stripes down the middle of the hood, extended through the stone shield. The middle stripe as you can see is wide, and the outer stripes flank each side.

If you are looking for the same stripes as the 72 W29 striping, that's in the 72 Assembly manual.

This is 1971 striping:

This is 1972 W29 striping


Does this answer your question?

Mine has the Y73 option on the build sheet. Is there still stripes down the side and across the bottom of the trunk?

Terryc

Yes, Thank You

Allan R

Yes, there are. Same basically as the W29 side stripes on the 72.

You might want to scroll through this post and have a look at Mike's car with the Y73 striping.

The 71 is like mine
