I love these stripe pictures.

Nice to see the pics of original '65s with stripes. Mine was repainted in 1976, and I wondered if the stripe was correct at the rear, as I've seen some that don't drop down to the tail light. Looks like mine was done correctly.

These survivor pics are the perfect example of the over restored fit of most restoration jobs. A couple of the pics, even I would have to do a little adjusting on. They send my OCD into overdrive, but I'm working on that.

I found this technique on a youtube video 10 years ago if not more...
After filling the chip etc -
Take a brand new razor blade and bend a slight bow in it...
Then holding it between your thumb and index finger lay your ring finger and pinkie on the surface of the car and lightly drag the razor blade against the raised areas of the replaced paint.
- it takes a little time to carefully shave the overfill and level it - then you can hand polish the spot with some fine cut -

I have found that Trying to use sand paper even with a block results in thinning the paint surrounding the touched up area.

67 442,

Thanks for sharing the Factory pinstripes on a 1967 442.

They are opposite of the ‘67 GTO. I never knew that. THANKS !

1966 GTO Pinstripe
 

Unrestored ‘66 in Reef Turquoise with the single Cameo Ivory pinstripe.

The hand applied stripes are cool... in that when the striping brush was "reloaded" with paint the stripe was plump and then tapers, the same is found in the pinstripes on original paint from the 1930's.

I rehabbed the Original paint on a one family owned 36 Ford - Black with apple green pinstripes.
Actually had to mix and replace part of the pinstripe across the rear of the car because a tarp and blown and worn it off. I will tell you that the Ford Enamel paint holds up much better than lacquer - check out how nicely the paint came up.

I believe this side is mostly original paint on this one-family owned '65 GTO I just looked at. Dad ordered with an automatic so Mom could/would drive too. Teal Turquoise Metallic, built in Fremont with the original window sticker and shipper:)

tom406,

You can definitely see the full tinted glass.

Any other photos?

Are you pursuing this ‘65?

Thanks for sharing!

Chris.
