65 442 single racing stripe vinyl/decal?

I am doing a restoration job on my 1965 cutlass and would like to give it the rare racing stripe seen on some 442s back in 65. Does anyone know the dimensions of said stripes to be painted on or know of a company that sells a reproduction vinyl/decal? The original stripes back in 1965 were put on by the dealer as vinyls, not painted on.

Found it! I had been to the website before but skimmed it over as I didn't have full time to go into depth with it. Thank you for your help and I look forward to getting to work on that along with the 442 emblems and side scoops.

I used 442Bro factory dimensions, also extended the stripe across the cowl for a little extra cool look. Mine was painted on. There is a BMW Mini Cooper tow hook on the left side bumper, hope I never have to use it!

That looks nice! I am aware they did not put white vinyl stripes unless the car as black but I am thinking that I am going to do a white stripe with my dark blue car because it will match and look nice with the white interior.

442bro has proven to be very helpful
