I would like to add white hood accent stripes to my 76 Eldorado and can't find any info on the width of each stripe and or if they are two thin lines top and bottom as well as the actual termination point top and bottom.
Thanks,
Tom

The hood stripe thickness was part of the responses to your question on this subject in the Technical/Authenticity forum on January 14th, was it not?

"Tom,
The Color & Upholstery selector has a sample of the pin stripe. The wider band is 3/32" followed by 1/4" space and a 1/32" fine line.
HTH,
Ralph"

You might also find this helpful from Tom Hall back in 2007

"From the 1976 Salesmans Merchandising Guide:

The De Ville dElegance and Eldorado styling themes are enhanced by dual paint stripes.  Dual Eldorado accent stripes are located next to the upper and lower crease lines of the beveled edges of the hood. The upper stripes end at the hood rear edge. The lower stripes extend all the way back to the rear edge of the door....  The accent stripes are available in eight colors... The owner selects...at no extra charge....  He can also delete the accent stripes if he desires."

Thanks for your assistance. I thought I asked this before but didn't search correctly for that initial request. This is a project Mr. Badwrench can tackle.
Thanks,
