I have not tried a wider stipe. Keeping it the width of cowl seems to be a good wih. Currently there is a silver pin stripe around the black stripe.

Hmm, I like the no stripe version, or perhaps one with a rally sport stripe.

I too would like to see the black stripe a little wider. Larry over at P.T. has a cool idea going that would look good just a bit more narrow on your car. Just a suggestion.

Question

Is the black stripe a semi flat or shiny black? I like the accent white pinstripe idea around the black, another option would be a shade of silver pinstripe?

I look at that color blue and it looks real close to what I know as Petty Blue, I have always liked that color, Cool.

Thats gonna be a sweet ride!

Thanks Nova. The black will be shiny and its currently a silver pinstripe. It may look white, but it will be silver.

Nice work Ben!

I am a little torn here! Normally I like the no stripe, less is more, clean look...especially with all the factory trim you have on the car...that blue just might be enough. And with the black seats, spoiler, grill and perhaps under hood...I think the wheels look fine!

But then I look at the rendering with the stripe and I like it too! But have to agree with the others that it looks a little narrow. I know thats as wide as you can go without coming down the sides of the center of the hood....perhaps a differant view would help?

I guess it all comes down to the look you want.

It'd look fine with that width of stripe on the hood if you were to run an SS style hockey stick stripe down the sides like the Motion cars that'd look well trick.

I just had my 67 done in nassau blue which is a two stage compared to the three stage that the jetstream blue is. Also decided I liked it a little better after seeing the two in person. Also decided to go with a custom pearl white for the stripes. I think it turned out pretty good.

Here are a few pics fresh from paint. I also plan to change the wheels up sometime in the future to something a little bigger.
