Mach / Twister mock. up

[wakester06v6]

I was considering adding racing stripes to the side of the Mustinger, I was looking at pics of the '70s Mach I, Twister Special, and came up with the mock up below. Not the cleanest rendering, but you should get the idea. Let me know what you think.

Looks pretty good, but I'de look at doing the rear spoiler in black too. It was black on the Twister I believe.

 

[wakester06v6]

Yep I would do the spoiler too if I do this.

I can whip up some better stripe renderings for you if you want me too
Looks nice!

Yeah, his is the 2007 remake of the original. That is what I am going for, only mine is screaming yellow, not grabber orange.

I'm pretty sure this is what I'm going to do with it, but if you have some other ideas by all means go for it. Use any of the pics in my garage.

What you can do is ...
Buy a roll of matte black vinyl and cut it yourself.
It appears your stripe might be about 6", and follows the natural body lines of the car.
I believe pep boys etc might sell the stuff.
By you doing it yourself, you could modify it anyway you want.
Thats what i did with my striping.

Great minds think alike. That is exactly where I was going with this. Advanced Auto has a 6" stripe for $20 that I believe is enough to do both sides. I don't want to be an exact remake of the twister, just close enough to make it stand out some more.

 

[On Edge]

Exactly.
Whats nice is its also 3 little pieces....about 1' for rear quarter, 5' for the door and 2' for the fender.
Use a mildly soapy formula to put it on and a gentle but firm squeegy to squeegy out the water.
I used a small .99 cent spray bottle with a few drops of liquid hand soap and warm water.
Just dont cut the vinyl while its on the car.

Ive got a black spoiler you can have

Sorry, just saw this thread... I like the double stripe look. Similar to the stripe I have.. but just different enough! Original stripe for Mach1 or Twister Special is a triple stripe. Total stripe is 4 1/4" wide. Outside thin stripes are 1/4", then a 3/8" inch gap (body color) and a 3 inch center.

 

[wakester06v6]

yep, you are correct. I was originally going to do that stripe, but the kit from AutoZone, or any other supply store was crap and difficult to work with, so I junked it and came up with the double stripe instead. It goes more with the le mans stripe over the top
