Citron Yella

It's a 71 only color, also known as Curious Yellow. But it is very green in the shade.

Nope, just trying to make sure all the info is out there in case anyone else is looking at making a tribute one buddy.  The world needs more DMCL Chargers a lot worse than more GL's.

"Hey Deek, remember Robert Mitchum in Thunder road? I'm gonna powder his face!" CLASSIC!

Y3 is such a cool colour! I love lime cars, and I love yellow cars, and Y3 is just right in the middle, love it too.

I'm in the process of building a model of the DMCL Charger, so how wide and where does the black strip start and stop? also the 440 text, Khyron, can you post some detail photos showing close ups as a reference?

My goal is once I'm done with my R/T is to start a DMCL Charger.

Back in the 80s, I had a friend that would cruise Central in Phoenix and he had his car painted exactly like one.
Thanks
Mike

Sure, when I get home I'll take some pictures and measurements on the stripe....

The key is that the 440 moved in possition on different cars. It should be over the marker lights on the side.

This is when I first put it in... but again, i'll get more accurate info when Im home. If it matters, Peter Fonda approved

This was also before my hood was done. Ignore the sixpack scoop

[Ghoste]

I don't recall you mentioning a Fonda approval?

[az69rtcharger]

Great, Thanks Khyron I look forward to the measurements..............

[Khyron]

I don't recall you mentioning a Fonda approval?

When he signed my car.... we walked around and talked about it, said he loved it and was dead on.... with the exception of the interior ;-) but he promised he wouldn't pic on me because of it hehehe

[Ghoste]

Very cool!  So now you're going for a black interior and a/c dash?

[FastbackJon]

Sweet, I didn't know Fonda saw it either. How did that happen?

here is the whole story :-)

yes, Black interior most likely this winter. no AC though.... i have to draw the line somewhere heheheh


now on to the stripe.... there is about 2 inches extra in the measurements behind the 440 to add for some play and trimming on the quarter extentions and cuts for the doors.

hope this helps

[Ghoste]

I missed that whole thread but I was pretty much on the road for the whole month of October so I should get a pass on it.  I'm up to speed now though and congrats Khyron, it is an awesome story.

[41husk]

but seriously Kyron, what do you think?

[Khyron]

I dont follow you.... think about what?

Hello! I am new to this site. I saw the movie on dvd and it looks to be more green than yellow. Since the movie came out in 1974 maybe the car was repainted? If you look at the door jam in a few of the scenes, it looks like a mask job. Love the movie. Those are cool pics of the charger with Peter Fonda.

[model maker]

Outstanding  were you able to get any pictures of him sitting in the drivers seat ?

[model maker]

mayby susan george will take a picture with the car if she ever came to the states.
