Bee stripe application questions.
« on: April 06, 2009 - 05:22:58 PM »
I searched and what I found months ago I can't see to find. 

Does the bee stripe follow into the rear quarter panel that is cut out for the bumper?
I could have sworn the pix I do have that show it doing that came from this site?  I also have a rag article saying it doesn't but the survivor pix I have differ.

Also the trim piece that follows the trunk lid and rear quarter edges, I assume it was painted under those pieces?

Thanks in advance!!!

The stripe color was painted first, then masked & body color painted.

The masking was done by hand so original examples vary quite a bit. Some wrap down like your photo shows, others do not.

I stumbled across a picture of my car in original paint with the bumper off last night so I'm good to go.  Better to go this route versus what someone else's, like pictured, looks like.

Barry, do you know what color the jack post is, 70 Challenger w/ small spare?  I know you do but had to ask to be pc.  I've seen them yellow & gray in restored cars.   :clueless:

Thanks Barry.  :thumbsup:

It depends, the T-style jack bar is painted silver, the tube style is plated.

Every 1970 E-Body I have seen in original condition so far has the T-Style.
