what's the approximate width of the white pin stripe on these cars? we have a pin striper coming on monday to do the 68 hurst were building and need to give him some kinda of a dimension.

i would think they'd be the same as the 69, so maybe a 69 owner could chime in.

thanks in advance.

 

the black pin stripe on mine is right at 1/8th of an inch. not sure if that is correct width but thats what i got

 

Have a look here....

did it mention the thickness of the pinstriping though? i did not see any but it ould be cause i am half blind as well lol.

 

When we painted the Silver Bullet I went over to Joe Munoz's house and measured his REAL '68 H/O, and the stripes ae 1/8", for sure. If you need any of the other dimensions, I have them saved, and would be glad to post.

 

then its the same on the 69 as well i would say . just pointing out the obvious here lol

 

The New Revised King Joe Version of the" Striping Bible " can be found in a thread search of this sites archives...key words STRIPE/PADAVANO. It is above reproach and considered divinely inspired Derek

 

i know of that thread. i even copied the attached images. but i must have overlooked the pin stripe dimension last time i read it.

thanks again.

 

Yeah, I think your fender stripe and rocker panel measurements are the same. The hood lines are different, just pointing out the obvious here lol.
