Re: 72 TA : New Project
Finally got back in town and installed the Phoenix Graphix hood stripe. The stripe seems to be the right color and dimension and matches the Stencils&Stripes brand roof and trunk decals. The quality control of the trimming of the clear outer area leaves a lot to be desired, though. It ranges from 3/8 inch in the corners to 1 mm along the sides. Not very good trimming done by the manufacturer, at all. (Still better than the non-existent 1-year back-ordered hood stripe that never arrived from the other stripe maker.)
It will take a few days for the remaining bubbles to evaporate and then it should look pretty good. It was a bear getting that cut out to properly match the shaker hole. Took about 2 hours with a lot of application gel.

Re: 72 TA : New Project
Close ups on the outer perimeter:
On an ironic note, with these flaws it is probably as close as you can get to the factory poor build quality of the original stripes! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

Re: 72 TA : New Project
Got the shaker back on yesterday. I applied the decals and set her back on top of the air cleaner once again. Everything actually works!

Re: 72 TA : New Project
Now I'm just waiting for the polyethylene valance to get prepped and painted. That's all that's left. I already have the lower spoiler waiting around impatiently, wanting to be on the car.

Re: 72 TA : New Project
Man that car is stunning; and I thought it looked good before the restoration.
