Shelby GT350 Rocker Stripes

[250 Testa Rossa]

Is there anybody out there who makes correct rocker stripe decals or paint mask set for a 1/24th scale 1965 Shelby GT350? 

Thanks!

Either the Monogram or Fred Cady ones should work.

Rex, in that first picture of the wheel, would that be correct for '66 Shelbys? I always like that style wheel better than the '10 spokes' or the 5 spoke Magnum type.

Vintage Racing Miniatures makes a beautiful set.printed by Cartograf the best in the business.

I think technically that was the 65 only wheel made by Cragar and the ten spokes were an option for 66 along with the Hertz Magnum 500's.  I don't think you will get dinged by anyone for doing a wheel swap.

Oh OK..............I think they look better IMO as I'd like to build a '66 sometime with those wheels. Maybe consider it a "Day 2" car.

I am sure you could put the '65 wheels on a '66 if you wanted.  I know there were some things carried over on the early '66 cars from the '65s. Whose to say you couldn't have a set of those wheels? These cars were a little more personalized than factory built stuff. I agree they are way nicer than the 10 spoke ones.

Here's a comparison between the VRM and Monogram stripes, both correct for '66 and not '65. The '65 stripes were much larger than this.

For 1966: "Now added to the options list were the Koni shocks, the Detroit Locker differential, as well as the wood-rimmed steering wheel. More wheels were now available, the leftover cars having either the silver-painted steel wheels or the Crager mags, which both were also available on later produced cars. Standard wheels on the later cars were silver-painted 14 inch Magnum 500s, but the Hertz cars came with the chrome versions. More wheel options on later cars were also the 14 inch Shelby aluminum ten-spoke wheels and plain 14 inch silver-painted wheels. Most early cars came with hollow-letter Cobra valve covers while the later cars had solid letters and a black crinkle finish. "

I measured the Monogram stripes, and they look just like the ones for 1966.
