I hope to get the challenger running on the streets within the next month.  I have been trying to come up with stripes.  The car is an orange 1970 challenger that looks pretty original but has updated suspension and drive train so not defined as a restoration.

I did this in Photoshop. Do you know anyone that could make something like this out of vinyl or is this strictly a paint on thing.

Looks really good!  Got a classic look but with a modern wist.  I would have someone make it out of a decal.  You might try Gary.  He should be able to do that for you.

Thanks Cody

Gary has made decals for me before and his work was excellent.   I'll get some pictures off to him.

That who I would suggest also. Gary did my stripes and the Dodge logo on the spoiler.

Takes a lot of love and a long time to bring these cars back to life, but it is a fun trip.  Mark has a local guy coming over to the shop next week to see about vinyl stripe work too.  We shall see.  There is light at the end of the tunnel.    :woohoo:

A couple other ideas you might want to mock up on photoshop. One, a much smaller "HEMI" turned vertical on the end of the stripe. Two, HE set above MI on the end of the stripe replicating the old RT . Just a thought.

We will mock up several possibilities.  We also have a guy making clear protective plates that will protect the low painted areas from chips by tire thrown rocks.  :cool:
