44Challenger,

I like the looks of the R/T stripes with the ralleye fender gills.  Do you think adding the 70 "bumblebee" stripe to the rear would be too much ?

What an engine bay!!!   Man can't wait for my Magnum to fill in the empty crying out TO me engine bay!! LOL!!  
Good call PG, the decals on that car look great, that's anmother good idea PG - the bumble bee would look good, either or it will still look great!

The other idea I had was to use just the fender gills and strobe stripes and a bumblebee, no side stripe.

Yeah, simply yet eye catching as all e-bodies are of course

Thanks for the good coments. You can't see it from the photos but the Rt has a spoiler on the rear. I think thar the Bee stripe might be too much !!

44Challenger,
  I agree, the bumblebee stripe would be too much with the T/A spoiler on there. While one the subject, has anyone seen any company that sells the bumblebee stripe decal? I considered it once, but gave up and put a spoiler on my car. I couldn't find any dealers, so I thought maybe they were painted on.

Year One sells a stencil, so I'm infering from that fact that the bumblebee stripe was painted on.

44Challenger, awesome job on the restoration of a beautiful '73 Challenger!!!  What have you done inside the engine as far as modifications?  Stock or not I'm sure it really makes this Chally scream!!!

[44Challenger]

STOCK

Just a little cam upgrade but other than that stock !!
Still it makes the 1/4 mile in the mid 14's with 3.23 gears in it
Not bad for a 33 year old motor !!!

That's good to hear, what shoes you got on? I've had my car estimated by a pro as being a 13.8 car stock, 3:55's and 245/60/15 all around might be the difference

Wow, let's hear a Ricer say their engine is all stock and runs 14's....  Sure, they're excuse is the engine's a big block, but they should be quicker according to their weight-to-ratio theory.  What can I say, I'm Ricist.    No offense to the guys here who have better Imports.....Ie: not Riced out with wings and what not.
