Pete Brock GT350 HEP Stripe Re-Design

Awesome!

However I find this a little disturbing:

I think any members who logged on after that post and have not "liked" it should be sanctioned.

Now post one of those in the Photo of the Month contest thread. But wait until the first of next month so others can avoid wasting their time entering.

Congrats! That is one sharp looking car! Thanks for sharing this terrific story!

So for the paint code. It’s Axalta/DuPont #4483 Guardsman Blue.

Measurements I’d have to physically measure. They did measurements, but there was a lot of eyeing it apparently to ensure it matched the lines and that the taper was correct as the stripes do change in width as they go over the car.
For the side design I have this which is definitely getting framed.

Awesome thank you, and this schematic is definitely a part of car culture history!

Total old school here, hand drawn. No CAD for these cool dudes. You never see this and I'm an architect. A lost art.

Now THAT is cool.

I would love to see the car in person some time. Rad story.

I say let’s get together for a meet down in San Diego.
I‘m not into group drives but I’d certainly meet up somewhere.

Congratulation!! Your ride looks very sharp!

Have to wait a few weeks before I can do PPF. Once I have that I’ll be down to pretty much go any where. This Saturday I’m going to do a cars and coffee up in Carlsbad and over at Rancho Sante Fe. Haven’t been to one in awhile.

Cleaned it up today. Finally put on the SV705s. Think they fit perfect.

Ya when it hits 110F up here in Bakersfield I‘m down to head south ;-)

One Pete sent me that he took not with his cell phone.

At first I wasn’t a fan. But once I saw the finished product I really fell into it. Well done.

definitely like the wider stripes. Side stripes are different, but that’s what I like about them also.

enjoy that sweet car

Oh boy!

Beautiful!! I would definitely love to put the painted OTT stripes on my HEP R at the least.

I was thinking about this thread last night. What I liked, what I didn't and the absolutely incredible experience it must have been to work with a racing legend. Then it hit me.

How about going one step further and replicating the side-exit exhausts from the original? Potential downsides are the holes left in the rear lower valence and a potential change in the amazing sound the GT350 makes now...

But...you could do some of those Zoomie electronic cut-outs to have both. If you like the look you have created from the side, this could be another step toward honoring the original.

Bigger painted OTT striped are so baller.
