Gorgeous car, but I'm not sure I understand that paint sequence [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/confused.gif[/img] You mean they paint the white stripe, then mask off the two sections of the white stripe in order to get that thin strip of body color between the wide and thin sections of the stripe?

Re: Hemi Challenger
awesome car (I am a fan of 70 challengers). I can't see the torque boxes with the under body shot. It would be nice to see those for my own grins.

Re: Hemi Challenger
Lookin' good Bergy. Love'the '70 Challengers. Can't wait to see it in Plum Crazy.
It's funny, before I read your post on the spot welds, I was thinking to myself "is that an amateur patch weld job? It looks so clean otherwise..." lol.

Re: Hemi Challenger
Those pinch weld/stich welds may be an early repair. Every hemi car I have owned had panel separation issues in the rear floor area where the rear passenger's feet would go. I think it was a body flex issue. Even my 12,000 hemi charger had a split in the welds and in the center of the floor panel on the passenger side, rear floor section. Four speed cars were especially susceptable to this problem.
Was there any purple paint over the welds or did it look like someone had been in there with a welder?

Re: Hemi Challenger
The purple paint was on top of all of the welds. We removed all paint one layer at a time on exterior (3 coats). This car came with the rear "bumble bee" stripe (white). Verified that the factory actually painted the white stripe on first and then taped it off to put the plum crazy on. We got 100s of pics of the details.
