I am considering putting a butt stripe on my 68 even though it is not an R/T, just for something new, and to cover up a huge nick in the paint.

how wide is the butt stripe from the side marker back toward the door? I know the left big stripe is cut our for the side marker.

I need to see if it is wide enough to cover up the imperfection in the paint.

Thanks!

7" and its 3" gap between tail and stripe. I put mine on myself with the help of some soapy water and firm squeegee.

Mark,
What color are you going with - white or black?  Will add a lot to your 3X green :yesnod:

I like contrast..I am considering white.

Nice to hear from you Carl!

Butt stripe?  :shruggy: :slap: Never heard it called that, nor do I wish to ever hear it again. R/T stripe, tail stripe etc..... Sounds so much better.  :2thumbs:

I'll try and mind my low class, South Seattle manners next time ::)

I also see that I can't spell width....

That would be a BUMBLE BEE butt stripe!

I always said Butt Stripe and interior color as black gut, red gut etc.

Butt, Gut....now I need to fill the passenger seat with something that rhymes..... :scratchchin:
