Dave,
Half an inch?? On both sides? I have seen where they cut the stripe on some cars to go through the Nova emblem, but most original cars I have seen have the stripe barely above the NOVA emblem. I have seen them go above the emblem on one side, and through the emblem on the other. No two cars will be the same. We watched a guy crawling around the floor taking exact stripe measurements from a Yenko Camaro one year at the reunion. Why? I thought he was over doing it, especially since he was building a clone car. These cars didn't get striped very consistently back in the day, so I wouldn't get too crazy with the measurements.

How many of the 25 red deuces are accounted for Marlin? Both sides stripes do run through the top of the nova on my yellow deuce, but its a pain to do it that way. We did it on the red little Rock deuce, and Jon Cronkletons. Takes time and lots of patience. Jd, use a spray bottle with soapy water and keep em wet.Marlin, does J&W get the hood stripes right,or are they wrong too? Schonye [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

S;
There were 35 red deuces, approx. 20-21 are accounted for. J&W's stripes are good, they are hand cut and have the correct 'sheen' to the vinyl. I have seen more stripes above the NOVA emblem than through it, but you may be on to something with the Hurst cars. Dennis, use lots and lots of soapy water, and a good little rubber squeegy!
