on the hood of the cal. sp. was it a single stripe on each side or did it have a small thin stripe on each side of the main stripes?

Hood stripes were a single stripe on each side, 13 inches wide. Hood stripes was a factory or dealer add-on option that was available on all 68 Mustangs and were not specific to the GT/CS See link:

Rob,
John is right on the hood stripe, if you are talking about the side stripes look under the "features" section of this website and go to "side", here is the pic... http://www.californiaspecial.com/images/cs-stripe1.jpg

Climberben,
They are painted on with low gloss paint not decals.
