69 Boss style C stripe measurements?

I'm looking at adding the C stripe from the 69 Boss mustangs to my 07, and was wondering if anyone had good measurements of the stripe on an S197 style car?

I've found some good reference photos from the 69-70 style thread, but was hoping to get something more exact for my painter.

Thanks

What's different about it compared to the 69 stripes? Most of the ones I have seen look like yours.

drakino,
On mine the top part of the 'C' is higher up than on the 69 Boss Stripe. A original;

Ok, I see the differences now. Yes, I'd still appreciate measurements of yours as it will be a great way to lay it out on the car. The parts I'm most interested in are the thicknesses of the stripe at various points, and the spacing between the stripe and the pinstripe.

Thanks for taking time to do this by the way, it is much appreciated.

The front vertical part is 5 3/4" wide.The lower stripe is 1 1/2" wide. The upper stripe starts 1" wide & tapers.The distance to the pinstripe is 1/4".

Thanks. I'll be talking with the painter later this week about the hood and C stripes.

Be sure to post pics when you get the stripes painted.
I did vinyl with mine in case I ever decide to try something different, but I'm quite happy with it now.
I'm still not going to paint the center of the hood on mine like the 69's,enough black on it for now.
