65 GT350 Side/Rocker Panel Stripe Pictures

(1/1)

J_Speegle:
Had a request and in assembling pictures I noticed that we didn't have any published in the open part of the site. They have been uploaded so they were likely posted elsewhere and there are examples in the Unrestored Picture Thread section of the site. As we know the side stripes were painted on the side of the cars in 65 so we would expect and do find examples with overspray and blow outs in some areas were the surface was not masked well or corners where the tape may not have been pressed fully or followed the surface well. Pictures are from various unrestored  65 Shelby's   

Hope these help others as they prepare and paint these on their cars.





SS1- GT 350 section of the stripe. The GT350 itself is a decal/sticker




SS2- Forward edge of the door section




SS3- That edge from the opposite side. Not visible traces of overspray on the back side




SS4- Forward rocker area




SS5- Rocker section with door open




SS6- Rear door opening with stripe ends on the B pillar/quarter panel edge. On this example there is some overspray behind where the tape was applied




SS7- Rear door opening with stripe ends on the B pillar/quarter panel edge.  Tape not pressed well in the compound corner




SS8- Rear door opening with stripe ends on the B pillar/quarter panel edge.




SS9- Nice clean edge of the rear edge of the door




SS10- Quarter panel section




SS11-



SS12- Rear stripe edge




SS13-



SS14- Blue overspray from the stripe application. Amazing that this is still visible. On some examples it must have been fairly heavy and very visible to still be so strong and visible after all these years. Especially considering the condition of some of the examples and their other painted surfaces



SS15-



SS16-

As a follow up it appears I skipped posting some pictures of the front wheel well lip above so here are some. Sorry I've not collected as many of this area as I have others

SS17-




SS18- These next two are from the same car and ita apparent that they have seen their share of use and road rash as well as some buffing of the lip edge through the stripe paint on at least the following picture




SS19-
