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

[brandon bowling]

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.

Not quite as long. Had the goatee before senior pics. That's the last time it came off. Why mess with perfection.
Senior pics were only 40 years ago.
I can think of one gal that might have had her name on the title of a deuce, maybe 2.
