Or red is cool... 

Hey BigBlock - Thanks so much  - that's awesome! Would you be able to do it with a black roof and strobe stripe (across door from the rallye fender scoops)? My interior is white and alreasy purchased - or I would be considering those combos for sure!

Looks familiar to my Rallye. My car is factory eggshell white, black top, stripes, and guts. Can't wait to get paint on mine.

Hey Rallye - Do you have any pics of yours?  I thought the white would be...well - whiter! But the chip said eggshel and then I started getting nervous that it wouldn't be white enough. I almost had them mix up some another Chryco white...but it was from a colt. Then I painted the inners and it looked almost pearl-like. Now that I see BigBlocks rendition, I think the stripes and stuff will set it off nice.

Here's some more before and afters...Hope y'all don't think it's overkill!
Thanks agin to everyones help along the way to this point. I'll be asking (begging) for lots more help duing the winter buildup - it started in the winter and will be finished in the winter - the REAL Chilly Challenger! :working:

Body stripped:

I actually like the eggshell white. I agree that by the time you trim it out you will love it.

I don't have a pic of my car with paint on it. It was black when I picked it up. Here is a pic of a '73 at the Carlisle show that is the same color combo as mine.

Thanks John - I needed that too! Easy to see when it's done it does look good - now I'm back on track!!!
I'll be in China al next week, but after that, the new/clean parts start going back on!!!
 :cheers:

ALSO - I need the measurements for the holes needed to re-install the Rallye fins/mouldings on the front fenders - anyone?

Now that I LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thanks.  I think if you use the black strobe stripes, with the hood blackout, keep the white roof, it would look killer.  The black out on the tail panel will tie it together front to back.  Just my  :2cents:
