Here's my detailed write-up on how to install the Mach 1 side stripe (hockey stripe) kit. I did have a slight problem with the trunk lid striping since the coupe and vert trunk lit and rear quarter panel extensions are different than the mach1. I'll update the write-up when I finish the rear striping 9once the darn rain stops).

Here's the link to the write-up:

A link to the exact striping dimensions and locations (as researched by Jeff Ford for the Lazarous Project that I found after installation, but i was only off by 1/8 to 1/16 of an inch by eye balling the strip locations.):

Let me know how fast the pages load, I tried to be modem friendly while still retaining the large picture size when you click on the picture for enlargement.

Here are some random shots from the write-u (larger version are on linked on the website):

Glad to see a write up on this, your site is great for us big body stang guys. I hopefully might do that in the near future. On the 71 hardtop we didnt use the stripes though they are handpainted on and then cleared really good as with the rest.

Thanks, I'll be using them within the next year. I have a 1973 mach 1 but debating whether to use 71-72 or 73 stripes. Your web sites like a bible to us big body mustang guys. I just wish you lived in PA to give me a hand. Did you go to school for this? IM trying to learn as I go which gets tough sometimes but it will be worth it I think when I get it finished and can cruise the streets. Did you strip the undercoating off the bottom of your car yet? I have some rust and chipping undercoating under mine and want to strip and sand it down and put a nice coat of POR 15 under it. Trying to figure the easiest way to strip it down. IM removing the engine and trans soon and the exhaust is off so it should be fairly easy to get to. I have to clean up the engine bay too but I seen you have that project on your site which is good. I have 2 wheel wells stripped and one and a half to go. Its getting there slowly but surely once I do all this though I have to have a body shop install the taillight panel, patch up some holes, sand and paint it and maybe throw on the front and rear spoiler while there at it.

Thanks,
Jim
