Keep in mind the factory didn't pay much attention to lazer level straightness. I have seen several cars over the years with the stripes nose diving, just subtle enough to see, but not drastic. Using a Lazer level will ensure you keep the lines straight. The book shows dimensions from the Authors original paint, original factory applied stripes, but who applied them at the factory, the coke bottle glasses flunky. Who knows. The dimensions in the book is a great starting refrence in my opinion, but the lazer level is how I would do it. I would start with the scoop and door, and work my way forward, adjusting as I needed. Remember, you have two short runs on the fender as it is broken up by the wheel well. If you mark the rear of the door where it needs to go, then mark the front of the fender where it needs to go, shoot the level and stand back to see how it looks. JMHO. Mike
ps. Remember to leave 1/2 inch overhang of the stripes at the edges of the fenders and doors. This much wrapped around the edges, including between the front of the fender and the fender extention (head light bucket).
