Hi all, looking for a pic, a 1971 Charger with a canopy (half) vinyl top & stripe kit, the kind of stripe that goes around the cowl and down the side, blacked out buldge hood treatment wouldn't hurt either......
Thanks!

This hobby is more than just our cars, it's the people you get to meet along the way!!!

Thanks Ottawa, I can find a bunch of those, but I need to see one with that top......

That's a combination never offered from the factory so they are kinda hard to find.......
Here's all I could find.

Cool, I would have to get a completely blacked out hood treatment though.....mines not a R/T......maybe  I could get a custom one that says SE.........

My brother has a vinyl cutter and did mine for me. I'm sure he could do a custom "vanity vinyl" for you if you wanted.
here's mine........

Would he be able to do custom side stripes as well? I do not have those vents in the back of the hood.......

71_Charger_R/T

The side stripes he doesn't have dimension specs for....... The hood black-out he does, all he'd have to do is change the graphic to "S/E" or whatever you want (JPL? or something personalized.) I had to cut the hole out in the center for the louver so no problem there.

ACUDANUT

You don't really need spec's for the decals. Line them up and center them. Your hood (74) without vents won't be a issue.  :cheers:

Ahh...... me thinks you don't really know what you are talking about. Do we just slap a 48" wide chunk of vinyl on the side of the car and it automatically lines up and turns into a 3" wide swoop down the side and over the cowl?  They need to be plotted and cut out of the raw stock so they fit the car, THEN it just a matter of lining them up (which is pretty easy,yes.)

ACUDANUT

The stripes line up with the body lines. I watched a pro do them on my cars. It looked fairly easy, but I don't take chances. Pay someone.

you are not understanding that we are talking about MAKING the stripes, not buying them and just putting them on. you need to have the dimensions to MAKE them. I know how to float them on.......... I did my own.
