Everyone, recalling the purpose for this thread... I wanted develop a concour quality set of stripes that I would be proud to place on my car upon completion of the restoration. Along the way, many of you were extremely helpful, very generous, enthusiastic and somewhat persuasive, convincing me to produce a complete stripe set with letters to sell as a package. During development of these products, I set a goal to produce the best product on the market, as close to NOS as possible, that could be sold for a price below the current products available on the market.

I have good news and good news!

First the good news:
Black/White Stripe Set: I recently sent a proof set of black/white stripes to Norwood to review the quality, presentation and correctness. This was very scary because I know how he gets when he receives a bad set of stripes But luckily, he is supportive, and as mentioned before, his endorsement mean's a lot to me.

The black and white stripe sets for the Blue Trans Am will be produced in the first couple of weeks of April, and available for sale before the end of April. Yeah! This is a full package, including a nose bird, stripes, Trans Am letters and 455 H.O.

The price will be $378 plus shipping costs.

Now the good news:
Blue/Black gradient Set: The gradient has finally been perfected. The last remaining work is in developing an ink that matches the NOS blue color.

The proofs for the blue stripes should be ready by the end of April. A proof set will be sent to Norwood and NJSteve for review prior to production.

If all goes well, production of the blue stripes should be made in May.

I would like to get an idea who will be interested in the black/white stripes to ensure the production run is adequate. If you think you'd be interested in purchasing a set over the next 6 months, please drop me a note here, or PM or email at gregsm@earthlink.net

Thanks again to everyone who helped with knowledge, insights and sample NOS stripes for this effort!

Hi Chris, I will be glad to work with you on a hood and bird stripe only. I probably won't do that for the general public, but I want to be as flexible as possible for members here. I'll work up a price for that.

Hello Greg, Great to hear that this project has progressed so well. Although it seems that you have plenty of capable hands to help, I do have an NOS set of blue stripes for a white car if you should need to view them for comparason. I would be happy to help you out if needed. Congrats on your endeavor! Jeff

What he said!

Even though I have no dog in this fight, and most likely never will, a million thanks to Greg for patience and persistence!

Well done!

Great news! I have a white car (blue stripe) but it only needs the hood stripe. Can I get that ala carte please? If so what would the price be?
