1972 Type 3 Australian Stripe Kit
Typ3nut - October 24th, 2010 at 10:28 AM

I'm looking for information about the 1972 Type 3 Australian Stripe Kit. I really like the look of this Stripe Kit and would like to put one on my 1973 Fastback. Any photos of a brochure, catalog or Type 3 with the Stripe Kit on a car, would be appreciated.
Anyone reproducing this Stripe Kit?...Would be interested in purchasing.


vlad01 - October 24th, 2010 at 10:44 AM

you like mine?


Typ3nut - October 24th, 2010 at 11:02 AM

I really like this Stripe, any photos of your car ?
I have a beautiful Fastback that needs these Stripes.
Any Information would be appreciated.

As far as i know there where available as an option for little over 6 months from late-ish 71 to early 72. That is all I know.

I can get some pics and measurements, someone might like to reproduce them. I got a mate from high school who owns his own business doing car art and pinstripes.

Called Pinstripe Dave. I might try to get on to him as get him to make a batch of them.

lol I rote in my previous post " you like mine?"
I was suppose to type "you mean like mine?" Just noticed it then, looks so funny now :lol:

Hi Vlad,

Perfect, I have downloaded those pictures. If you are going to do a batch of these stripes I might be interested.

Found this Photo of the 1972 Type 3 Stripe Kit in a Rare 1972 Australian Accessory Brochure. Checkout those Racy Wheel Covers !

Hi everyone, Im new to this board but was sent this link by a person on another board (TheSamba) I am currently searching for a 60"s model VW bug to do a full restore on and while Im gathering up parts I thought I would put my cutter to work making some decals to help get a few extra dollars for my own VW build/restore. I had someone ask me to make these and thought I would post them here too

If any one is interested just hit me up with a email.


Thanks,
Mike

vlad01 - February 6th, 2011 at 06:21 PM

looking good so far, though it needs tweaking here and there.


dschoppers - February 7th, 2011 at 02:11 AM

Yeah the 3 I tweeked a bit more and the top inner stripe cut out I pulled back to end the same as the bottom more like your picture above. There 145 inches and $50.00 a set.
Im going to try to map the one for the lower door next


type3disease - February 7th, 2011 at 11:22 AM

whats the UV rating on the Vinyl...? what colours are available?


vlad01 - February 7th, 2011 at 05:16 PM

what program did you use?


empi - February 8th, 2011 at 08:38 AM

I have an empi c-stripe kit for a type 3 if anyone is interested in it.


dschoppers - February 8th, 2011 at 09:45 AM

type3disease I would have to check the UV rating Im sure its good, I get the vinyl with the highest rating for auto use since originally I got the cutter to do my truck and trailer (lol) pretty freakin expensive to do one trailer and a truck but I have done allot of vehicles around here
since I have no overhead except the cost of the vinyl and tape.

vlad01 : I use a Roland color camm 600 or maybe its a 6000 (the one that prints and cuts) and I use flexisign 7.5 and 8.1

I try not to print too much as it does get expensive to get ink.


dschoppers - February 8th, 2011 at 09:49 AM

Oh also guys I dont do this for a living, just to get toys sometimes like now Im itching to get a VW bug and every little bit helps. My main biz is steel work, heres my website if anyone is interested http://www.dirtysouthchoppers.com  so mainly Im a steel worker / welder
nothing special about me no matter what you hear my Mom say (haha)
