G.T. 350/500 Stripe Question
« on: March 01, 2019, 01:52:50 PM »
Should I trim the access or just fold into the fender well as shown in the pic?
Thanks

get some clear nail polish and put some on the edges to keep from peeling

+1


Here are some examples that should illustrate that practice. Believe these were posted on the forum before the crash

Hope these help

Maybe these will help illustrate how many were done

Front fender edge





Forward door edge





Rear door edge





Quarter panel forward edge

Would the "wrap around" of the stripes shown in the pictures apply for all years (1965-1970) of Shelbys? (let me know if this should be a new thread).

The pictures are super helpful, thanks for posting. And the tip on the nail polish too.

Yes typically the stripes were wrapped around the corners so that they didn't detach as easy as if they were cut on the edges. During 69-70 its typical to find them with an adhesive similar to weather strip type applied with a brush over the ends at the rear of the door opening  - both on the door and on the quarter panel ends

Earlier years, as far as I'm aware, have not been found to be finished in that way
