Can't help you with the dimensions as mine is missing them. This place specializes in Mopar stripes.

The stripe isn't just one long straight piece that stretches from one side to the other.
Each side piece has a bend in it to allow for the angle change at the top of the 1/4 panel, and there's a bend in the trunk section too, so I'd suggest getting a stripe kit from someone who has made them before.
Otherwise, you might end up with one of those cringeworthy stripes that we have all seen in the past.

I think your right. I am leaning more towards a Ghost Stripe now like the one in the picture but I can't find anyone who supplies them

Looking at that picture, I would guess that's a vinyl matte black stripe on the black car, not really a "ghosts" stripe.  :scope:
And the stripe should go all the way to the edge of the side marker opening, there shouldn't be a space around it.
