Dave, I put the pinstripes on my grille bars based on the pictures I've seen
and my rememberance as a kid. Not scientific, but it looks pretty good. I
used a 1/8" pinstripe and put the top of the pinstripe exactly 3/4" from the
bottom of each grille bar (obviously, that makes the bottom of the stripe
5/8" from the bottom of the grille bar).
I had never put any pinstripes on before, but found it easier than I
thought. (I believe you and I discussed application methods when we
discussed the pinstripe on the cab.) I wouldn't hesitate to do it again
myself. Just need to go slow and steady. You can always peel it off and
start over if you need to. Good luck!
