Default Lower side stripes

Anyone tell me the measurements for these stripes? Car is going for paint next month & the painter will paint them on under the clear. I just need the measurements. I don't need the lettering info (ie..GT350/500) as the wife just wants the basic stripes. Thanks

The top is 7/16"
The space is 3/8"
The widest is 1 5/8"
The space is 3/8"
The bottom is 7/16"
If you do the letters, they are the same height of the mid stripe and take up from 12 to 14" with about 1/2" from the stripe to the start of the letter and start about 4" to 5" from the fender.

Exactly what I needed Mike. Thanks! I'm meeting up with the painter again tomorrow and heading back to Jersey early next week. It looks like mid/end of March for paint! I'm quite excited for my next trip up and see it painted finally.

We're still not sure on the lettering whether to go without the letters or go with GT351 or EXP351. (The car will 'look' like the 68 Shelby Green Hornet EXP500). The 351 to be a bit different and display the block size. Have to decide by tomorrow I guess.

Welcome, I like the personal touch's. Heres what I done on the 5. The White will look great on green! Most programs will fit the letters to the block. I left out the periods.
