Post by Joe73 Tue Feb 21, 2012 9:46 am

I've searched hi and lo and cannot find my striping dimensions from my '73 before I redid her. I had them all measured perfectly. Anyone have a copy of the dimensions. Hopefully next winter I'll be restoring the new frame and swapping the body over. Then finally putting the side stripes back on and probably clearcoating the whole thing. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks alot guys!!

Yes, those pics are good. Quick questions. Is the first pic of the bottom of the door? Or the quarter panel? Does the quarter panel wide bottom stripe taper smaller from the well to the bumper end like by the front bumper? Thanks for posting.

Limey, if I remember correctly, the laguna striping is the same til about '76 when they moved the stripe up higher on the door. Do you have any dimensions and or pics to share?
Thanks

and striping for 73 SS and 74 S3 is almost identical just have to adjust the thickness (taper it down some) to meet the Impact rub strip correctly, after that it does change and I have dimensions saved as well !!

X2. Great work Limey. Nice diagram. Cant wait to put mine back on. Funny thing I see all the time. When I got my SS in '82, all the other SS's Ive seen all had the satin black tail panel. Mine as well. I never see that anymore on the '73's. Wonder why.
