Picture request: Blue laser stripe

Just google 72 Gran Torino Sport but select images.That is where my avatar came from and has blue laser but I mainly wanted it cause it has slots When my car is done will look close to that but I won't have laser stripe cause my car will only have paint.I am a custom painter so what ever i do will be done in paint and buried in clear smooth as glass so you don't feel anything.

This should do ya.......

I really like that deep blue starting to rethink my original thought of black.    maybe black with the blue laser strip would look cool.

I have an original black GTS that will be painted this blue combination. I am partial to the blue because I bought one new in '72.

Excellent, thats a good pic. I really want to paint my car black with the blue stripe. Now I can do a photo chop to get a decent idea of how it will look.

Here's another view I found. I don't care for the Cobra emblems.

That's fantastic!  Definitely keep this posted.  The blue was my second choice and now I see why.  Thanks.  Paul~

Or, I guess to be more specific-what color would this stripe be described as?

does anyone know if the color of the car effects the shade of the laser stripe colors?? as when you see the laser stripe on the different color cars it seems to be a different shadeof colors

also after looking at the photos Andy posted of the 73 GTS
I like the 72 laser stripe better as Not really digging the stripe over the wheel lip in the front sitting that high on the fender.
I like the 72 stripe alot better with the break at the front wheelwell

  Agreed, that is the red; just faded with time (it's held up amazingly well for almost 40 years)

Paul is right, the lazer stripe is supposed to be at the same place as the molding, ditch the caddy pads and go with the stars wars sticker

wonder if that molding could have been a special order.   or the kinda thing were they put it on early built or late built cars   and then changed mid year.
