Default GT stripes

Hi, I am a newto the forum. I am looking for some specific dimensions for the GT rocker panel stripes for a 67 coupe. I need the width of each of the three stripes, and the distance between them, as well as the distance above the door edge where they start.
If there is a stencil to purchase, please let me know where to get it. My painter is really getting done.
Thanks in advance for any enlightenment. Here are some pics of the front and rear suspensions that I am building for it.

Find a Mustangs Unlimited catalogue I think they have all dimensions.
Another option and I have done this I am A graphics guy is to go by a model car scan in the decals and just scale them to full size works every-time.

Thanks for the info, I just checked MU catalogue and they have the rally stripes dimensioned but not the side stripes. The model idea looks good if there aren't other suggestions.

Yep, it's a Terminator IRS. This unit comes from an '04 Cobra. The idea is not mine however. I happened on a company(DVS Restorations) while I was deciding what to do with my '67 Coupe. You take the thing(IRS) apart, send the subframe to DVS, and they do the mods. and return the subframe, along with some brackets that bolt on to the frame rails of a classic Mustang. I just took all the stock parts, had them ceramic(HPC), and powder coated, and added some aftermarket stuff like, a Trutrac diff., some Maximum Motorsporttierod and endlinks, and some hard bushings(delrin) for the control arms, and for the subframe.The front is a kit from RRS an Australian company. They usestock'04Cobra calipers, some kind of coilover unit, and proprietary spindles and rotors.The two kits match nicely, and will give my '67 a 21rst century ride. As far a pics I'll post some prior to body work. The painter says just another 2 or 3 weeks. You guys are really the first to see my project other than the family and they are pretty bored with it. So even just onepost of encouragement from you is fun. The '67 is going to be a sleeper(except for the exhaust tone). It is to be painted stock Springtime Yellow(my daughter wouldn't let me change it). It definetly is not concours,but being a coupe it's not that valuable stock. Hope you like it. I will post some more as I go along.

As for the stripes they were decals on the stock vehicles. I am going to have them painted, then clear coated with the rest of the paint. Still looking for some measurements however. If I have to I could just buy the decals, but I know someone out there has a '67 GT.
