Stripes.
I was lucky enough to buy half an original GMH set of stripes years ago that I had put away.
I sent them to a signwriter to copy them. As they are originally screenprinted, and so old, he had a lot of trouble. But he ended up getting them all done, and doing me another full set.
If anyone is rebuilding a HQ Sandman, I can put you in contact with him, as he now has it saved into his computor program.
These are exact copies of original stripes. Perfect.
I have noticed that a lot of restored Sandmans, the stripes aren't right. Some are close, others are not even close.
Many signwriters machines can't cut them, because with them being so long and the 2 pinstripes, if their machine isn't perfect, it can't do it. I had a few people try to make them for me, that swore they could do it, but the machines couldn't.
Also I have the GMH fitting instructions for the stripes, so that they can be put in exactly the right positions.
