I am thinking about doing a motion style stripe on my 73.
my concern is it has the stock hood and not the L88 or LT1 for the stripe to end in. I thought about running the stripe straight down the hood and under the nose, but the width of the "cowl" hood is wider then the space between the head lights. I think it wouldn't look right with the stripes run across a 1/4 of the heads lights.
I considered having the stripe cut in around the head lights including the pin stripe.

thoughts or opinions ???

Hi 4s,
Were all the 'Motion' stripes the same?
Here's one on a 69 Motion car that has the stripe ending on the hood, not continuing onto the surround. Could you do something similar with your hood's raised area?
It seems to me the 'Motion' stripe 'look' is more about the treatment on the rear clip rather than the front.
So??
Regards,
Alan

thats my concern, the 73 hood doesn't have any type of body line on the hood to end the stripe, the cowl just fades to nothing.

I know you want to have the stripe go all the way down the front but you could just have the stripe on the center of the hood fading away to the base color of the car before the lights.

thats a good idea, kinda like the side stripes on the late C3's, coming out of the fender cove.
