I'm thinking the side would look good as a T/A or RT stripe with the 512 worked in.  Need more side stripe.   :alan2cents:

Thanks guys. Definitely looks better in pictures than in person because of the dust I got in the paint on the roof. My moronic self thought it'd be a good idea to close the garage door when the paint was wet, live and learn there. Oh well, paint will be stripped and made glossy in the next few years by a pro. After trying to keep a satin finish clean and all the imperfections from a garage paint job, I hate it. I already had the stripes so figured I may as well us them. I'll go glossy in the future and then go matte on the stripes. But it does looks wicked in photos.

The t/a stripe is there, really hard to get a good picture of the contrast on the iphone. Stripe dimensions weren't perfect though, not sure what happened. The shop had no choice but to start the stripe about 6" from the front rather than .5" otherwise the thicknesses wouldn't match up at the door section. Oh well again, just going to drive the wheels of the sucker.

Very cool, never seen anything like that before, glad you did it! My first thought was of a stealth fighter  :vipermanhiding:

This looks like a great idea for a '71 "Ghosted" billboard call out decal for someone like me who has some issue with the "massive" rear coverage of a contrasting one.
I am torn between just leaving it out like 90% did originally in '71 or putting one on like most seem to do today.
It seems that most Mopar lovers, back in the day, thought it a bit too much (gaudy)
At-any-rate your idea has interesting merit, thanks

Everyone should see that!   :bigthumb:  I like your theme of matte and gloss black.  It might look good if you continued that theme and used gloss black on the hood?  :dunno:

Very cool with the flag! Is the hood callout for real or Photoshopped?

I thought about it but I really wanted a few smaller accents to pop and break up the black. The paint is more of a satin so you can really only see the gloss stripes in a certain light.

Hood and windshield are real

Smaller decals on the lower spoiler and been messing with some yellow headlight film. Think I'll move the yellow to the inside 2 lights like others have done.

Your front end in that picture looks pretty mean, almost like an industrial serious pure buisness kinda look. I want to see more :popcorn:

Here's from a Father's Day car show over the weekend. Prior to the yellow accents being added

Love the flat black accents against the black paint.  Can't say I'm a fan of the yellow decals, but it's your car, not mine.  :wave:
