So I am getting ready to dress out the top of the car from the side Stripe up. I am no Chip Foose (lol) but am dangerous enough to smear a coat of paint on metal. So I have the stripe kit for the hood. Now I myself am a fan of breaking up the color. In fact, I stuck my Dealer hood tach on it and even liked that. However my dad likes the ol' plain jane cars and he is on the bubble with the stripe.

Opinions good or bad doesn't matter. One picture is the current state of affairs and the other is of an A Body sold on Ebay a while back with the stripe and is the same color as mine.

Thanks,
JW

I'm no Foose ether but I like your style. I had a 70 340 Duster, Red with Black side stripes back in the day.
Go with what you like, it's yours and make it yours, you will never be sorry. Enjoy
 
yes, in fact, i want it for my 71 (orange, but also with a white stripe)
you got a stripe to break up the back (i presume) and both sides, but nothing on the front

i think your car would look much better
 
Go for it. By the way, I like the wheel and tire combo. Tell us about them.

I like ,... It's all personal, looks reserved, yet time correct, AND. DIFFERENT.....:)
 
The ''Twister'' hood stripe is one of the better designs made by Chrysler for these cars, i say go for it!
 
all you want to do is add the hood strip thats on the car in the lower pic? if so then i say yes go for it.. anything more i don't know. black stripes would really pop on that color.. but then not match the int.. love that color though..

Original rims (14".) I will get you the tire size tomorrow but they are pretty close to stock. The springs on the rear are de-arched somewhat but that is a future project....
