Here's my T7 dark bronze to give you a feel if you are not familiar....... DPL, is your T3 light bronze or the T7 dark bronze like mine?

No need, silver is better.  I have a bronze car now and I do like it, but silver is the best choice especially for a 69.

Nice Coronet!
Was the 68 500 side 1/4 panel trim there when you bought it or did you put them on yourself?

DPL here's a T-3 light bronze tan top like mine was originally...



i like your idea for the mocha cream color have you thought of doing the car the "Cool Vanilla" Chysler is putting on the new 300s?...

sounds like a good subject for DMS440's photoshop thread... i bet he could whip one up in any color combo you specify....

Nice to meet everyone, and of course the fellow BC boys.

T3 is also beautiful - nice cars guys, unbelievable.  I can't believe T5 you are considering painting your car.  It looks mint in the photos!  Must be to stave off boredom...;)

Blown68 nailed it.  The side trim wasn't factory on the Super Bee but I thought it looks great so WTF?  Why not.

Anyone of you guys who live anywhere within a few hundred miles of Langley BC, take note: one of the best car shows I've ever been to is coming to town again - the Langley Cruise In.  I tell ya, this show is 3 days long and occupies the main roads of Langley - last year there were 3500 cars I am told.  It is awesome.

Hey T5,

Turns out we have a couple things in common: my 69 charger is originally a T5 car and if I was to name the most influential musician for me, it would be Randy...with Jake coming in second place.

Let me guess - you have a few les pauls hanging around...

Hey DPL-----your superbee looks to be the standard sunfire yellow.  It had different names and codes depending on whether it was used on Chrysler, Plymouth, or Dodge vehicles.  I think in 69 on a Charger it was Y2.  And in 68 seems like it was the SS1 that was mentioned on Chargers.  But I like the color of your 68 Charger a lot.  It's a little warmer than the regular sunfire yellow but doesn't appear as bright as the top bananna which came out in 70.  If you determine what that color is, I would sure like to know.  Even if it's a computer code from a paint matching place.  Thanks.

   Cool pics...I like the '68 R/T & '69 R/T together. I've had around 11 or so '68-'70 Chargers mostly R/T's, and back in 1991 I had a '68 R/T 4-speed Dana Charger, a '69 R/T 4-speed Dana Charger, and a '70 R/T 440-6 Dana Charger all at the same time. But the '69 R/T was the only driver I had at the time. My Gramps had an original '70 Charger 500 383 also. We had some cool cars & they slowly got sold to pay for the resto on the '70. :eek2:
