: Correct placement of factory 70-72 SS stripes?

I recently delivered an OPG factory stripe kit to the paint shop because I wanted factory stripes on my 70. After the initial "Wow my car looks good" the ""What's wrong with my stripes?" kicked in. After the fact, I called OPG to find out if placement instructions are included in the kit and they are not.

I took it for granted that the body shop would have reference or at least ask if they did not know how to install stripes. Does anyone know where can I find correct placement instructions for the factory stripes?

Thanks

You can find it on pages 545,546 and 547 in the Gm factory assembly instruction manual.Hope this helps.
