Bumble Bee Stripe on a Scamp?

[71 Scamp]

I'm getting ready to have my 71 Scamp painted. I've always liked the Bumble Bee Stripe on the Dart. What do you think about the Bumble Bee Stripe on a Scamp? I think I'm going to go for it. I just wanted to hear some opinions.

have some done in 3M vinyl at a sign shop. If you don't like it you can simply change the color or take it off all together.

what colour you painting it? i got a black bumblebee to still put on mine when its complete (got it from challenger gary for a really good price)..i say it depends on the colour you do...i felt i needed one to match the hood and break up the intenseness of the green

 

[SassyGrassScamp]

Absolutely....I have a '71 and when ready for paint. I'm gonna black out the hood and do the stripe.

The angled rear quarter of the car lends itself PERFECTLY to the stripe.

It's my favorite on those cars, hands down. :cheers:

I am thinking of leaving mine off because I am going back to the vinyl top, and adding a Go-Wing, plus will black out the rocker panels and hood scoops.

Why not? It's your car and if you like it go for it!

 

[BigRichieO]

Sure, put a stripe!!

How about this

Convertible SCAMP with stripe



This car was cut up years ago. he actually did a pretty good job making something he wanted. He didn't use a dart top frame, he cut down a frame off a full size ford. I have not seen it with the top up, but top down looks good for a homemade convertible

mines got one on it, i think it looks good

 

[Tnplumber]

I think it will be good either way...but I think bumble stripes are a "Dodge" thing. But like i said will be cool either way.

Now, THAT is cool!

Thanks for the posts. I'm going to go for it. They just look so cool with the stripe.

How abbout a duster stripe down the side? Has anyone ever done that? I thought about doing a longitdal on my 75 scamp from a 73 duster.

It would need to be modified to follow the different quarter panel line but it can be done...

I like the way it is cut away around the side marker lights on the vert. 8)

Do it! I think the stripe looks good on those year cars.

I say do what YOU want to do. It's your car, your dream, your money!

A bumble bee stripe on a Scamp looks good, since the rear of a Scamp is a Dart anyway!

 

[tyler_s18]

it would look good on your car. on the darker cars the cremeish white color of stripe looks great with the dodge in it on the deck lid. yours would pbly say plymouth tho but i would say that would look killer lol

 

[70DartMike]

Here's somewhat of a bumble bee stripe on a Valiant..

 

[moparmanSD]

sure do it

 

[Johnny Dart]

Thats weird.I never thought of a stripe not being on the Scamp. Of course it would look good,but I'm a traditionlist (SP?).Sorry,my Scamp would be stripeless.

 

[2 Darts]

I am a traditionalist and voted to go for it. It's your car and you're the one that will live with it.

The stripe would look especially good if there is no vinyl top, side pin stripe, or go wing. It breaks up the bleakness of the rear of the car without cluttering things up.
