They look finished with a stripe. My car is a factory stripe delete, but I'm putting a white one on anyway.

I call the GTS Stripe and Stripes of that ilk the Bee stripe... like a "bumble bee" band.

I feel the same way. It's a nice accent... I need to post a picture from above so you can see how the hood stripe Black vinyl top and Bee strip play against each other

This is the reason I put a stripe on my Dart despite the fact it didn't originally have one. Provides a nice contrast to bright paint too if you don't have a vinyl top to break up all the color.

Out with the 391 in with the 323.
I bought a 355 ring and pinion along with master rebuild kit to swap out the 391s.
Both 741 cases the only difference is mine with the 391 had the big 7290 yoke but the 323 center came with the small 7260 yoke. Is that a thing? It must be because I updated my order to include a 7290-7260 u joint.

Put in a Grant Classic wheel.
Seems cool and a lot cheaper than the Mopar repop.
Anyone have or make a fratzog center cap?

Since Grant doesn't make a Fratzog horn button I Had to take matters into my own hands. This is what I came up with using an old sail panel emblem.
I bowled down a stock plain Grant button, painted it black and drilled it for the emblem.

Hey Rob
Measuring 1.5 inches up from the lip on each end of the hood set a tape measure up and follow my images.

Really like the lift. Thinking about doing something similar in my garage. How much floor to ceiling clearance do you have to accommodate the lift? And did you install it yourself or have it professionally installed?
