Finally time for rocker stripes

 My 67 GT350 is finally ready for rocker stripes to be installed.  I need pictures and help with location for stripes.  I remember discussion in the past on location on front fenders ahead of the doors. I haven't been able to find good pics of straight on side view.
Is it me or is the "search" function a joke. Never had any luck with it.  What's the secret?  It just seems to suck.

The Shelby World Registry or a Tony Branda catalog should have detailed information on stripe placement

and Yes , Branda catalogs and the some of the older SAAC Registry's provide exact placement

So if I go with the proper 67 placement, there is not enough strip to make it to the wheel well and around.

Had the same problem back before Y2K, think the problem was an aftermarket stripe kit for both 67 – 68s.  Believe there is a 67 only stripe kit available.

Assume our resident forum authorities can help.

   All true about either the Branda catalog (even an old one has it) or the SAAC registry.

   Test first as the "sticky" seems to deteriorate if you bought these years ago and have stored them.
   And, I bought mine from Branda as at the time, ten some years ago now, they had the correct font and color.  I do recall, they were long enough.

I've done three '67's - never had that problem, each kit had more then enough on that front segment to easily do a '67.

Mine will only go around at the top front on both sides, and about half of the fat strip, mighstart to go around, but the bottom thin strip won't make it....FACT

68krrrr

So is it the same stripe kit for both, but the difference is in the placement?

Seems as Branda's catalog now identifies the '67 & '68 as different part numbers.  (Not sure that was the case years ago)

NPD shows same part for '66 through '68 on GT350 Blue and  another for White.

Here is the diagram of placement they show for the two years...drivers' side is shown in illustration.

I just happen to have the 1968 part numbers here:

It looks like GT500s used the same kit, while GT350s are different

Hence the reference for the comment I made about "Something Big" Reproduction parts that actually are correct! (The headlight trim rings post)
Anyway, maybe I need to buy a strip kit from NPD? I hate buying parts 2 or 3 times to get the correct one!!!! Years ago, I bought a set of Boss Magnum 500 wheels, they say for 5 years, (because getting a shop to work was another story), when I went to install them, 2 of the 4 were BENT! CJ would not take them back since I owned them too long before letting them know.....

Sorry, I do not make reproduction parts or have any interest to do so.
