Does anybody have a photograph of an original Torino 1971 with the laser stripe kit on it? I would like to know if the original striping went down from the body line until it meets the 5 mouldings on the rear quarter panel. We recently installed the laser stripe kit and went straight down the body line that is in the middle of the car. But the stripe ended "up" from the 5 mouldings that are on the rear quarter panel. I have looked at dozens of cars that were restored and most have the striping even with the body line and some ended even with the 5 mouldings on the rear quarter panel. So, I would like to know exactly where the striping was installed by the factory. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank You!
