Topic: Y88 Pin Stripe placement

[79 T-Top Delete SE]

Ok Nat's are getting close and I need some help!!!

Planning on doing the pin stripes this weekend myself from a roll. I did the pre-molded before on the 79 and will never do that again so I went with the roll.

I know where they all need to be put I cannot find any information as to how far from the edges to place them or the distance from each other like on the roof or hood for example. The diagram that PG sends with the kit is useless. How do you cut the ends to get a point, etc.

As you can see I need some advice!

I can run the tape just need info on the little details.

Thanks

Mike

all that info is in the 79 supplement manual  , an add on to the 78 shop manual.  

I think Hitman has just that page and info for download  like $3.00  or the hole book on c/d

if it helps any i can get them off my y88 (whats left) basically its only left on the body shell and trunk lid spoiler nose and rear bumper. I can even take close ups for you as i plan to do so anyhow so I have them for my own personal info after the car see's paint one day in the hopefully near future.

I used the pre cut type. I thought they went on very nice.

i too used preformed. there is no way im going to be able to square up them corners like that or remember big stripe goes here small stripe goes there.
