Sorry it took so long to find the link. I printed this a few years ago but had no idea where I got it from.

Are you wanting '65 or '66 dimensions? Also, I assume you realize only '65s should be painted (stripes only, "GT350" are decals on all). I don't have my Branda catalog on me, and I see they don't have rocker dimensions on their site. If nobody chimes in with the style you are looking for, I'll post the dimensions for both '65 and '66 stripes this evening.

Oops....nevermind, forgot about the almighty NVSAAC site.

im looking for 66 ones but I need the actual stripe size not where they at on the body. i printed that page off already but I need to tell the paint guy what size the stripes physically

65s are 1/2, 1/2, 2-1/8, 1/2, 1/2

I think 66s are the same.

I think 66s are the same.

While the larger middle rocker stripe should measure 2-1/8" on a '65, it measures 1-5/8" on a '66 adhesive-backed stripe. The spacing is also different between '65s and '66s.

amorrow do you have all the dimensions for the 66 or a website?

Here is a quick diagram I made...the stripes are consistent in width (they don't taper like the LeMans stripes). The 3/4" gap between the stripe and "G" also applies to the space after the "0" in "G.T. 350". The only thing I'm unsure about wrt '66 stripes is the distance from the top stripe below the body "C" scallop or ridge that extends along the fender, door, and quarter panel. I know the top stripe begins 1" below the lower edge of this scallop on '65s.

Hope this helps. However, if your car is Wimbledon White and you're retaining the Fastback C-pillar vent panels, I'd say just go ahead and use '65 dimensions if you're painting them, as your car will more closely resemble a '65 anyway. If you're going with a different color, or you have mostly correct '66 parts, though, painting is better than decals imo...it's just that it won't look correct. Regardless which you choose, I'm sure it'll look great, though.

Good luck, and let us know how they turn out!
