Thinking about Stripes

[Chris Duncan]

Thinking about twin racing stripes down the center.

Noticing that when a line is run from front to rear centered on the car it doesn't center on various features like the NACA duct that's in front/center of the windshield.

So do you center on features or center overall on the car?

Welcome back! You've been sorta scarce of late.

For me, it's centered on the car.

I can appreciate the desire for symmetry but, for me, I wouldn't worry about the how centered the NACA duct is or isn't; that's some of the charm of a 40. Everything was placed where it is for a reason (one of which wasn't to help sell more of em).

On the other hand, a single wider stripe with narrow contrasting trim just inside the outer edges might cover the off-center duct issue and still look pretty sharp.

What colors are you leaning towards?

I would centre the stripes through the NACA duct(s) etc, you might need to cheat a little here and there but overall if done right, the eye would have a hard time finding any deviations.

Mine are centered. You don't really notice the asymmetry. What colors are do going to go with?
