My 73 Barracuda is factory FY1 with the white side stripe.  I have been searching for over a year now with no success to find a finished pic of a similar car.  Anyone willing and able to PS a factory 1973 white stripe on this car for me?? PLEASE!

A shaker... now that would be a challenge. Especially making one from scratch.

I just found a higher resolution reference image and drew the border with an editable spline tool using the reference as a guide. Then you select the area within the spline shape and fill it with white in a new layer. Then I shrunk the spline up by hand and did a stroke with a thin eraser to make the inner subtracted border and one more time with a simple line along the bottom of the stripe. The stroke does a brush stroke along the length of the line. Then I just erased the parts around the door handles and door seams and it was pretty much done.

I actually used a program called Gimp to do it. It's free and is pretty full featured for a freeware program.

That looks great!  Wouldn't be able to tell that it wasn't on the car originally!

WOW....   That looks GREAT!!!  Thanks

Shaker....nah....I was thinking of painting it back FY1 yellow but with the AAR look. I would leave the grill, side markers and tail panel as 1973 items.  Yet add the AAR stripe and blacked out AAR hood, and ducktail spoiler.    But I really like the stock look now that I see it like it was built!!!
