Grand sport stripes.. I think I'm am goin to throw some grand sport stripes on my car tomorrow, on each fender though. anyone know the exact dimensions and placement of them?
Q: What is the GM part number for the Grand Sport Hashmarks decal & its dimensions?
A: The GM part number is 10279781, listed at "STRIPE, F/FDR WHL OPG" and each stripe is slightly different. The left (front most) stripe is 2-13/16" wide while the right (rear most) is 2-11/16" wide. Each is approximately 8-7/8" long and they are spaced 3/4" apart. Torch Red is a perfect match in color.
(NOTE - the stripes don't touch the bottom of the fender and the corners are everso slightly rounded)
Q: What is the significance of the the red hashmarks on the front left fender of the Grand Sports?
A: During some races of the original 1963 Grand Sports, the teams placed strips of tape (rumor says duct tape) on the fenders instead of numbers to identify the cars.
This picture (top one) shows roughly where the stripes go.
