6T9rustang 11 Report post Posted May 19, 2008 Go back to pages 8,10 and 11 of this forum and you will find some good reading and the measurements. I printed mine from a mustang site but can't remember who! :whistling: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rks pilot 10 Report post Posted May 25, 2008 As far as know they weren't decals. I have the factory assembly manuals and they illustrate using templates for hood blackout and also for all the stripe decal placement Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bnickel 10,004 Report post Posted May 27, 2008 they were painted from the factory. i've never seen a decal for them before either....that would be wierd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coz 108 Report post Posted May 29, 2008 Well mine sure seems like a thick decal. Looks just like the side stripe in thickness and feel. I know the cowl is painted but the hood looks like a decal. I'll see if I can take some pics to show you all what I mean. I see that the 1970-73 Machs could have hood decals.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jag 10 Report post Posted May 30, 2008 My 69 Mach 1 hood blackout was painted from the factory. The decals for hoods started in 1970. I remember because I had new quarters put on in 1974 because they had already rusted out. Ithen had the car repainted. The body man painted the flat black out but put a vinyl pin strip around the black out instaed of painting it. I was not happy and made him change it so it looked like an original......painted again.
