Re: "Engine Turned" tape vendors

[Herb <zephyr9900@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I ordered two, two inch rolls in the small turn pattern from Tape Brothers
and will report back if it is close to that on my Sport Fury.  If it is, my
Fury will be upgraded.  In talking to the sales man at Tape Brothers he said
the adhesive is very aggressive and the tape is difficult to install with
one person.  He stated that if it doubles back on itself it is impossible to
get apart or if it lays down in the wrong place you probably will damage it
pealing it up.  The plus is it is very weather tolerant and will not peal
off once it is in place.  Because of the level of difficulty installing the
tape I ordered two roles incase I have any waste.  (-:

Subject: "Engine Turned" tape vendors
 
 
 
I checked these tape vendors out.
Here is the problem:
lategreatchevy.comThe tape offered here is NOT a roll, it comes in 6 pre-cut
pieces to match a '62 or '63 Impala SS molding.  '62 Impala trim starts
narrow on the front fender and widens as it goes to the rear quarter
(opposite of a Sport Fury).'63 Impala has a short narrow molding that does
not look even close to a '64 Sport Fury
tapebrothers.comTheir tape comes in 1" or 2" widths.
'64 Sport Fury trim is 1-3/8" wide at its widest point which means the 2"
tape needs to be trimmed down to fit the width AND trimmed to match the
taper of the molding.  That calls for some precise trimming.
Another thing is that if you want the trim to match STOCK, there should be
two vertical full "engine turned" circles with a 1/2 circle above and below
them.  The 2" tape has 2 full and 2 half circles in it, but you have to trim
5/8" off.
