Did you contact Gary Patrick? He has the info, and or better yet has the exatct reproductions of the H.O. stripes.

He's a busy guy, and may seem a little protective, but he's a good guy, and is very honest, and wants to make sure anything he reporoduces is on the up and up is all...
I already have a stripe kit, I am not sure if it is accurate or not, I had contacted Gary i cant really get the answer that i am after, I am still hoping someone with a HO car can give me the exact measures.
400Droptop, got your message, I will take a look @ it and get back with you asap. [img]http://photo.starblvd.net/~68Blackbird/1-1-1.jpg?i=1055002367[/img] Kel
That looks really good to me. I have brochures of the '68 HO cars with the stripes and it looks correct to me. I still think that stripe kit would look good on a '69!!
400droptopbird, here is another pic I found. My car is at my other house, we are in the process of moving. I will get those measurements for ya this weekend.Thanx Ray, I really had a hard time deciding which scheme to go with. Glad I went with this one!

Ok, here ya go 400droptopbird : the top /bottom lines are 1/4", and the middle line & the HO are 3/4". The dots for the HO are also 1/4. The stripes are about 1" from the wheel trim( notice how the line follows the well curve). Hope that helps. Not sure what ya have in mind, but I got mine from Classic, 3M top quality, however I did find them cheaper by digging around, just can't remember where...anyway, if you have come this far, no time to scrimp now....like they say, you get what you pay for! Good luck, would like to see it when your done, Kel 68 Blackbird
