Default 1966 Mustang coupe stripe kit

I also want to stripe my mustang 66 coupe but do not want the stripes down the bottom of the grill or on the back bumper. Can anyone point me to a site with stripe kits? I would prefer templates to paint them on.

Thanks!

I have that catalog and they give all kinds of measurements on the stripes. It should tell you everything you need to know.

I would think it would be a problem getting a vinyl stick-on stripes to line up straight.
I painted my stripes myself and I think it took 2 hours and lots of attempts to get it taped and laid out correctly. I can not imagine it would be easy to get it correct in 1 attempt when removing the backing paper.
I used the above website for the stripe dimensions and locations.

Here are some pictures of painting the stripes:

Stripes are a great addition. But why not put them under the grill and below the back bumper? I decided to go that way and I'm a little unhappy I must say. But try www.mustangsunlimited.com they have everything you could possibly ask for and more.

It is not hard at all, I did the vinyl stripes on my classic Mini because the originals were decals. I have also done a number of other decal stripes and kits on cars. Painted stripes are nice, but for about $250 you can have the vinyl done, and your car is down for about an hour or two not several days for prep and paint.
