It's probably been asked here a hundred times but I looked through the archives and can't find anything . I need the measurements for the stripes on the hood of a 70 E-C. thanx , DAVE

just buy the stencil kit, you'll be much further ahead doing it this way ......

I agree with JUNKVETTE....spend the +/- $50 and buy a stencil kit. Ground Up Restorations (TC's sponsor) has them available.

I agree with the above, but if your car was built after 04 A 70 the main stripe on hood and deck is 9.63 and the pin stripe .30 gap between hood/deck .28. The length(stopping from edge of panel)on hood main stripe 1.53 and deck 1.38 the pin stripe on hood .95 and deck .80. Overall centering dimensions...Outward from centerline on hood is 1.66 and the deck is 1.68. Inward from hood outer crease is 2.28. Good luck I just read that out of a restoration book and I still don't have a clue where they go.

The stencils are not great. Helped my painter lay them on today. Had to use sharp edge tape to get the lines straight. The stencils are straight on a flat paper surface but on the car they are not.

Use them as a guide, but be prepared to correct the lines if you want them straight.

This is a low budget repaint and the car is not an original SS. I am doing it to my taste and I already have the pro series tape .I was just wondering if anyone had ever found or sent in a 'blueprint' of the measurements.I have to do a little custom work on it [hood] also so I really need to paint them on myself . thanx for all the suggestions though .I'll measre some up at Super chevy this weekend if i have to.
