    Front meatball

    The car's at the paint shop. I've still haven't come up with a definite blue yet. I'll need to do that within the next week or so. I have the dimensions for the stripes but I need the size for the meatball on the nose. I'm going to use static cling for the doors but I think I'm going to have the one on the nose painted. Anyone have a size or size range that works with 7.5" stripes?

    Mine has 6-1/2 stripes with a 20 inch meatball on front. Looks pretty good.
    Also I vote you check into Regatta Blue from Ford. Its gorgeous !

    Thanks, I was guessing smaller on the meatball but considering the width of the stripes it should be right. BTW those are two blues that I hadn't considered. You guys are not making this easy.

    I did 7-7.5" tapered stripes with a 16" meatball. Shoulda went with a 18" but I kinda like it cause it flows well with the stripes.
