I have a couple of questions concerning the correct striping on my '32 Sport Coupe. I have a drawing for a 3 window coupe showing most of the details but not all.
1. How do the 3 stripes terminate at the foreward end of the hood? Do they blend together to form a point? Also,how do they terminate at the rear of the car?
2, My drawing shows the 2 upper moulding stripes going up the side of the front pillar and coming together at a point where the drip moulding begins.It shows no stripe on the drip mouldings.Is this the same detail to be used at the rear of the drip moulding?

Yes, there is a stripe on the drip moulding. Where the two stripes blend together on the front of the door pillar, it becomes one stripe at that point. The single stripe continues across the face of the drip moulding and then blends into two stripes again at the back.

The three stripes on the hood stop at the front of the hood moulding. They just dead end evenly and they do not come together. laugh laugh laugh

Thanks JYD.
I assume the 3 stripes just dead end at the rear also. Am I correct?

Correct, both ends are the same.
