Cool,

Harvey did a good job finishing it up and see he left the bubblebee stripe off like it should be.....

Very nice Charger. I wish I could afford such a nice, real 426.  Then again I would be afraid to drive it.  :scratchchin:

Thanks for posting. I've often wondered what happened to this Charger as my '68 440 R/T (in the UK) would have looked like this except it has a black interior.
Not sure about the stripe as I don't have a build sheet although I haven't check behind the head lining yet.

I followed your resto thread very closely. I have to say the work you were doing was very impressive. Outstanding in fact!

Nice to see your old Charger again!

The fender tag will tell you if it is stripe delete, don't need the broadcast sheet.

On my old data tag, the "9" under the "S" in "UBS" means stripe delete....

Unfortunately the previous owner took the fender tag off when they did some work to it. I'm guessing they took it off when they painted it orange.  :shruggy:
