yenko stripes...what were used as the templates ?

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

My original owner got a replacement set of stripes in '71, but instead of the '70 hood stripes he only got the '69 sYc triangle. I don't think Don was real big on sending piece parts of the stripe packages, it was all (the money!) or nothing! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

The reason I think the '70 stripes were hand cut is because after inspecting a few NOS sets we noticed that the corners were 'deep cut' - ie; you could see where the the cuts crossed into the remaining vinyl. Not to say Don didn't have them die cut as well / or eventually, but the sets we've seen in the red labeled boxes looked to be by hand.

As Joe mentions, Don got a lot of neat stuff done - just looke at the hood tach bezels.... quite cool! Of course, there I think he was keeping up with the SCCA crowd - but that's another debate.... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

yeah , i was looking to see what they used to make the pattern...i have a nos set , that belong to a friend of a friend. plain box , hand cut , (and some not that nice) on the 3m material.....the owner bought , supposedly, the last 2 sets that yenko had back in 81 , when he bought his turbo car.....also appear to be 2 white syc's in the box as well...headrest logo's...? owner is wanting to sell the set , and they appear to be useable....any ideas on a value? thanks

No idea what they'd be worth, I'd guess they'd be worth more as a collector's item than as something someone would actually try to install. i'd guess applying 40 year old stripes would be quite a challenge, and I'd personally think they'd be cooler to have in NOS/unused condition anyhow. As for the thought they were all hand cut, I dunno... I just can't believe someone sat and cut out 500+ stripe kits with an x-acto knife and a straight edge...not to mention another couple hundred Vega kits, plus spares.... I'd think if that were the case they'd still be finishing up the last few sets as we speak. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

Dig that note out. I'd be interested in who that was. Cronkleton's had damage when the original owner had it. He wound up having the left qtr painted on.

I'll have to work on that... if my memory serves me correctly I believe it was a woman who was requesting the stripe.
