Barracuda hood insert resto

Hi Darren
Did mine a few years ago,
It's a lot of tedious masking for sure.
Your's look awesome.
Dave
Hey Dave thanks.. yes it was quite the job.. i was finally able to pull the car out of the garage the other day, I washed it and just stared at it for atleast an hour walking around it having a few beers.. the nextdoor neighborhood was watching me from his window probably thinking I'm strange lol..

I'd be out there staring at it with you. Beautiful car.

Now sell me it. :D
 
Hey Darren did you use a 3/8" or 1/4" pin stripe? Seems like a 1/4" might be just a tad to big but would like to know.
Bob
I used a high quality 1/4" stripe.. in the corners I used a heat gun (on low ) to help mold the stripe, the heat gun helped the bend nice and flat.
Also in the corner ( that is circled in picture)
That's where I made my stripe joint , then used some black paint with little paint brush to fill the cavity in...
It turned out great..
