I will only have two now I traded the 71 for it

. Put a lot of time and money in her but now I hope he will enjoy it as much as I did. The 69 needs a lot of work but it is very solid, and I have always wanted one so I figure it was worth it.

Khyron · February 03, 2009, 10:35:45 PM

Congrats and welcome to the DMCL club...

I can hook you up with a set of my stripes when your ready. I had a local Vinyl place do them and they are correct

It's less commitment then to paint them

Charger1973 · February 03, 2009, 11:02:26 PM

Damn as cool as that is I almost hate to see the 71 go. Does the 69 run at all? Whats it got in it?

Mean 318 · February 03, 2009, 11:05:33 PM

I dont have a lot of parts but If there is something you need leme know or else just shoot me a price and give me an idea of the shape its in! THANKS!

model maker · February 03, 2009, 11:20:41 PM

Nice Charger. With that 68 Grille, it looks exactly like the charger with the 68 grille that knocked the cop car into the water !
Khyron , How difficult would it be for you to hook me up with a set of those stripes ? You do have it absolutely correct and I know that first hand. Who did the stripes for you ? Since you have someone who can make them correctly, it is much easier then to have someone else who is unfamilliar with the stripes dimensions.

Nice car man, you'll have fun building it.

Now why would you go to a site for a decal strip kit when someone has already have the stuff on somthing and can make them the right (correct size?) size from some one that had them already made for on his car.

No problem man, we all do that all the time, heck I did that just the other day on another forum myself. But the problem was my computer froze up for a afew seconds and I didn't look up and what I was was typing and what my computer posted was alittle off

and didn't sound right either and I heard about it

.

But Magnum has a nice soild car to start with and that is very good.

69 charger 500 · February 04, 2009, 03:18:42 AM

NOPE, they don't they only have factory stripes. where did you have yours made Khyron ? the guy who did yours nailed them perfectly. It's good you found someone who could do them right, what do they charge for a set of those ? And would they be willing to make more and ship them ? let me know !

Was tough to see the 71 go being it was my first attempt but he was happy as I am very happy. Doesn't have motor in her yet so she is powered Flintstones style LOL!

Local Vinyl place I gave the measurements too, They'll have it in their computer. My stripes where like $75-80 if memory serves.

and I take it as a complement. I took the measurements and did the work and gave it to them to have made.. So Thanks. I did do one little thing different that no one can see unless i point it out. But in the very front, instead of coming to a point it's a little rounded. I did that so the stripe wouldn't have issues. almost years and no problems. If you want a set, or anyone. Let me know where to ship it and I will see how much the place will make a few more for. Like I said, will be about 75-80.
