Yenko Stripe help please

[camarojoe]

Brian is right, here's a shot taken in the summer of '69 showing the stripe way up on the scoop. (and a big 'ol dent in the header panel too!) As I said, they probably weren't designed to be that short, but many were... If you're doing a clone you can end them wherever you want, but if i was restoring the car in this picture, well theres really no question where those ones should be.

Another thing I've seen variations on is the hood stripes themselves... The car pictured above has the outer edges of the stripes following the edge of the scoop portion of the hood, "splaying" them out in a V formation... On other cars I've seen the inner portion of the stripes follow the center hood crease, with the 2 stripes running nearly parallel to each other, as in the picture below. Either way could be considered correct.

The other issue is how far back from the door jam the wide part of the side stripe should start. As Brian noted on the hood stripe, the side stripes were all over the board, too....everywhere from 1" or so to 8-9". I settled on 4 1/2" on my clone.

Also, In my unscientific research (comparing cars at SCR) I found the front of the side stripe to generally start about 1" back from the rear of the side marker, but in the pic Joe posted, it starts farther back.

In my observation, the top of the side stripe was almost always just below the door key escutcheon. (touching or almost touching)

While I'm on it, there were also several ways the side stripe terminated on the top of the quarter. Some folded over about 1/4" and were kind of creased on top, but most stopped just short of the top crease. Some were cut straight, but most I observed followed the contour of the quarter crease, anywhere from even to 1/4" below the crease.
When I made my observations, I paid particular attention to the two or three unrestored examples, but I also noted SCW's placement on their restorations, as Brian and Joe are very particular about these details.

When Brian saw me measuring certain things, he volunteered some normaltive practices he had deduced from his extensive observations.

Can anyone post some close up pics of the stripes at the top of the QP near the spoiler. Thanks in advance

There has to be atleast ONE person that has a close up picture of the yenko stripes at the top of the quarter panel. Please some one post a picture its going on a prostreet blower car. NOT A CLONE!!! Thanks.
