Yipes, Stripes!

[TT5.9mag]

Not yet. It's been a busy year! But I'm about to order a top and stripe. I'll keep it updated.

Fun fact, the nice lady at SMS auto fabrics told me that using protectants on vinyl tops destroys them. That was the first thing I did when I got my car (in '95), and the top was tattered in a year.

A busy year? Or two? Get on it! I wanna see a dark green stripe on a white car with a dark green top.

TF is wrong with you?
Christmas is all about green and red and white!
And so is Italy. Without the two of them, you'd never have a family Christmas dinner of pizza, spaghetti and gelato.

I was considering trimming out the vinyl around the marker, so there would be a border of body color white around the marker light.
Y'know, like an Italian flag.

Dude, it's a Rallye stripe.....with a Pentatstar to boot, get out much???

I think the stripe would look better with less of a lean angle or straighter up and down on the side of it.

no, just... no.

fits right into the body lines... if you had a 67-69 Dart. There's a reason the 70 stripes are slanted.

Related for the OP. There is a reason that the factory 1970 stripes have a deflection in the center. There is a slight body line in the 70-73 trunk lid trunk lid. When they put a straight line across the lid it looked wrong when you stand behind the car and looked at the stripe across the lid. 67-69 trunk lids don't have this body line. When correctly installed the factory 1970 stripes with the slight deflection look absolutely straight when viewed from behind - optical illusion. Don't forget the bend.

Glad they finally fixed them in '70.
