Could you please pass the info along to me as well?

@7E-Bodies Kevin, if you don't tag someone or quote the specific post you are referring to, it's hard to determine what specific info you are requesting from a ~10 page thread

6bblgt

there are partial year Chrysler generated "Option & Accessory Reports" that have installation rates for most OPTIONS, these usually cover ~90% of total production

I am probably the source on the remainder of the numbers presented, based on my current collection of data

@7E-Bodies you state that your moulding inserts are almost black, do they appear green? does the backside/core of the insert material appear a different color?  maybe cut/dissect a short piece that is not reusable?

does your 440 R/T have its original door sticker?  does it show completion in "10-1969" or "11-1969"?  got a pic?

6bblgt, here's the door decal.   Also, I'm short bussed when it comes to forum software.  Who'd a thought that clicking "reply" above a member's comment wouldn't reply specifically to that member, lol.  Any tutoring appreciated on any of the above.  I'd love to be more active in the forum vs the Facebook group, but get a bit confused.  Hope this finds you.

@7E-Bodies  if you want to be sure a post is seen by a particular member just add the @ symbol at the front of their name as I did with your name... You should receive a personal message notifying you of the post....

And if you look all the way to the left at posters names there's a link that says Send Private Message..

@6bblgt It looks like they're dark blue according to a bad one that I peeled back.  Some of the used OEMs had B5 overspray on them.  My inventory is as such: 1 LR NOS, 1 DD NOS, 1 LF NOS, 3 RR OEM (2 restorable), 1 PD OEM Restorable, 1 RF OEM Restorable.  All apparently dark blue.  Now the question remains as to product and tint to use to dye these and if V5F is light or dark green.

Great on the door decal - your car is the earliest Hamtramck assembly line #2 November car I can track, THANKS!

we solved the V1F "what color was it?", now we'll get on the V5F (Challenger) "what color was it?" hunt  :brainiac:

@6bblgt - They said they were going to replace my top 2 months went by hadn't heard anything. Contacted them they said they were still making the material. That was a month ago and haven't heard anything since. Sad thing is 3 of us ordered tops they had to make the material. They screw mine up and now have to make more material. You would have thought they would make more than enough for 3 the first time. It really has me held up.

@750-h2 Could I beg you for a copy of your order for the wide seam V1F from SMS?  I'm elbows deep in a quad green F8 restoration and it looks like I'd better get one coming since the wait seems so long.  Also, have you gotten yours yet?  What was the total time from ordering?  And are you happy with it?  Thanks in advance,
Kevin

@7E-Bodies, I ordered my vinyl top about 4 years ago. Allan ordered his about a year ago so his info should be easier to find. If you have no luck get back to me.

F8RT

@7E-Bodies  they are still making the vinyl material to replace mine with, so you can check my order it is the same as Alan's.


7E-Bodies

@F8RT so I just called them, and she pulled up Alan's order and said "then you want boar grain and green with the wide seams, correct?"  I wanted to be sure before I paid her so I'm verifying it here first and told her I'd call back Monday.  She also said Alan ordered an extra yard (I'd be charged $85 extra for that).  Is extra needed?  Cost without the extra yard was $795 + Shipping.  I want to make sure it all sounds correct before ordering.  Thanks in advance and forgive my inexperience with forum software and not knowing how to tag Alan.  I'll attach again my fender tag pic.

@7E-Bodies  You tag some one by putting @ then there user name. @anlauto  there i just did it for you!

@7E-Bodies You DO NOT need the "extra yard" of material. I ordered that because I was restoring a factory sunroof car and you need the extra material.
