Challenger
Just found a picture of what my Challenger will look like when I am finished restoring it. Now I need an opinion, my car is a stripe delete car. The question is to stripe or not to stripe?

Re: Challenger
no stripes= no stories or excuses...... nothing worse than being asked if its all correct... and explaining that it should not have a major styling cue....
It will look great as it was built .......out of sight outa mind.

Re: Challenger
Due to their crisp body lines, Challengers tend to look like they are missing something when they are stripe-less. If it's your car, do it as you want it. Actually, the white longitudinal R/T stripe looks great on an orange car. You also have other choices: the bumble bee tail stripe, as well as the hood blackout pictured in your example.

Re: Challenger
Good thing about stripe delete is, you get the R/T badging on the fenders. I always kind of liked that. My car is a stripe car, it helps to hide the trailer scar I gave it the 1st yr. that I owned it.

Re: Challenger
Here's one without the stripe, what kills this car is the tires, it's amazing how a vintage set of tires makes the old musclecars really pop.
