Ron,

Do you have first design or second design hood stripes? If you have second design? I have every single dimension from the top of the hood to the bottom and from side to side. Thanks and please advise. - Ron

Ronnie--- My LT-1 is vin #14297 with a July 3 body build date and the stripes are the original factory applied stripes. Your pictures are a bit confusing about where on the hood you need measurements. I attached a picture of the one place I was sure of. The end of the stripe on the driver's side is 9 3/16" from the edge as opposed to the 8" in your photo. The passenger side measurement was 9 1/16" so the factory was not super careful. If you can post an overall picture of your hood with tape to mark the measurements you need, I will make them for you.

I don't know why the overall picture of my hood turned sideways when I downloaded it?

Disregard the amber turn signal lenses, the car is a 70 not a 71. I just liked the amber lenses and clear bulbs.

Pat if you can give me the point near the wind shield end to edge of hood, and end of point to sides of the hood. In the front of hood the widest point and distance from the chrome trim recess to the stripe at both ends of the trim recess in hood. Or simply put some dimensions on a picture. I think mike is correct but just want to be sure! thanks Ronnie

Ronald, this is from 70 s/n 145xx. Uneven hood stripe. I have known this car since the early 70's and have owned it since 1980. I know the paint and stripe is original.

I'll post several pictures in a few threads.

Original stripes will come into the 12th opening of vent grille. Both side.
The LT-1 decal splits in half at the chrome bezel. The 1 is centered.

Original stripes are not "Straight". They curve towards the rear. I don't think anybody makes the right early stripes. We'll have to live with the straight ones or do them by hand.

71 stripes are the same dimensions. This is an original paint 71, fairly early car. Note the stripe also points to the 12th vent opening from the end. 71 and 72 stripes are more straight, not curved.

Hope this helps.
