chuckstang Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Has anyone had success with a stripe delete car doing this? I am worried about getting them all even vertically. That is my issue now, the spacing is spot on from side to side but up and down there is some variance from letter to letter I was told there should be though because the crease in the trunk beneath the letters is not perfectly level The reason I ask about other stripe deletes is because I don't think youd ever notice on a car with stripes, if that makes sense, cause with out them the letters are all naked and alone right there in your face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston Mike Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Nice job Mike! Thanks!!! I'm loving the way it is starting to look............blacked out lights coming up, painted rockers ready to install and lastly the wheels (spring project).

mrfarmdog Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 ChuckStang - Why not just measure them based on what ever criteria you want and place them? You can measure down from the spoiler or up from the bottom of the trunk lid. In your case I would probably measure from the bottom of the trunk lid so they are parallel all the way across.

skeet Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 I did mine today reusing the original letters. I popped the trunk lid and adjusted it to a comfortable working position then tied it using the springs on the lid and the hoop latch in the trunk. It was like working at a workbench and it was easy on the back. I was able to lay out the letters to get my measurments and to see how it would look.

RKT SHP Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 what did every one use to re "glue" them back down after moving them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradona Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 what did every one use to re "glue" them back down after moving them I bought a new set from Ford but if you want to reuse the original use 3M double sided tape. It's just a matter of patience if you reuse the old ones. :do what: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeet Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 what did every one use to re "glue" them back down after moving them I used Scotch (3M) 411/DC tape. It is indoor/outdoor mounting tape. It has a picture of an address plate with 4353 on the package. It cost about $5.00. see this video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
