 :clapping: I bet it looks sweet.

Are you putting the vinyl roof back on or are you leaving it off.


I was thinking that a Go-Mango R/T side stripe would look cool against your color........... :dunno:

I guy we are doing a car for used to run an upholstery shop, he has, believe it or not, a hole roll of Gator grain top material. He said I could have enough to do my car. All I have to do is send it to Legendary and they will make it into the correct seams and size.

You just have to do it.  Gator Grain Challengers and Barracudas rule. :2thumbs:

My Brothers Challenger SE is a Gator Grain car. :grinyes:

Legendary are going to be releasing the Gator Grain Vinyl in mid year, they have been working on the reproduction and will be sending out samples soon.

I just talked to them recently and the release has been pushed back again :stomp:

I'll bet they will wonder where I got the material from :poopoke:
The owner of the car is suppost to bring the material to me in the next week or so. When I get it I'll post some pictures.

That is F6 used in 1969.
There is a 2006 Mopar color that is very close to it. I don't have the number here with me but I can get it if you like.

Thanks for your help guys, but don't worry about it right now. I am a long way out from paint. And i haven't even decided what color to paint my car yet. Maybe in a year i will be needing some help. :thumbsup:

I'm thinkin big valve covers with easy access to the spark plugs.
Now how soon may be an issue though.
