dpaulson:
Does anyone have a metal with the original pinstripping still on,   like in this picture?

I am looking for some measurements of particularily the corners.  I have a vinyl cutter that I use for cutting decals and if I had some measurements I could draw it up in autocad.  I can make it available to others if they wish to pinstripe their machines.

the old trucker:

   I think it's a standard design on the woody & metal. Averyman has the original striping on his & Oldsledz had his painted on. Maybe one of them could measure theirs for you.

                                                                                      OT.

dpaulson:
I found and downloaded a program that's  a screen caliper and measured it myself.

I drew it up in autocad.  It looks pretty close.

the old trucker:

   I think your wasting your time in the steel business. By the way you get around on the computer, you could be a computer instructor. Maybe even the next Bill Gates !!
   Would the pic you posted be the same size as original ? Have you figured out the design on the rad door yet ? I was thinking you could bring a copy to a sign shop & have them made.

dpaulson:
Although it looks smaller, it is drawn full scale in autocad.  If I get a  good picture of the design used on the rear door, I may draw that one also.  Do you know if it is the same drawing that is found on the front.  I don't think that I really ever saw two the same and many do not have anything on the front.
