Hi everyone,

I am havine my 1970 Chevelle painted and I have a question regarding the measurments of the deck stripes.

Is there a book that has the measurments for deck stripes that go on the hood and rear trunk area?

I am aware, that there are stencil kits offered by parts supply companies, but if I can just get the measurment of the stripes, I think that would be just as good as using the stencils.

Thanks,
Kent :D
