Maybe Don doesn`t know but Cody does  :bigsmile:
 there is no pink stripe on the car , pink wasn`t available until Feb 70 this car was built at the end of Aug , the color combo is normal except for the stripe
 the car is purple with Black roof & black leather interior , tinted glass
 I think I will keep the stripe color under wraps for a bit , I am going to paint the car correctly & see if I can stand the look of it
 BTW According to Barry the stripe is painted on first & masked off  & then the purple is painted after , this is absolutly Not the case on my Chall , very definatly the purple is the base color & the Bee stripe is painted on Over the Purple , being Very early production possibly this changed later in the production run

About damn time!  I have waited 5 years on this thread!!!  Go ahead and show them the fender tag!   :stirpot:  LOL!!!  Well done bro... maybe we will be now coming to see you, to lend a hand???  Let me know if you need any parts shiped to you or anything like that to save you a buck or 10. 

Don


Thanks Don
 I don`t need much ... Fuel & brake lines lines , sheet metal , Bumper kit , tie rod ends , headliner material , rechrome the rear bumper , most of the parts I have already bought over the last 29 years to do this .I may build a Dana for it & I can`t decide werther to put the manifolds back on , I do have them or just do TTi headers  :dunno:
 I found a bumper on Ebay for 160 but by the time I get it here it will cost me $398 :pullinghair:
 If you want to come help I sure won`t turn it down , hopefully this will go fast & smooth, budget is the biggest concern .

I wont pry, but I did see a car in a magazine that was Purple with a butterscotch bee stripe......

Maybe Chrycos stripe is green so it looks like the Joker's car in Batman.....

to my knowledge this car has only 4 options on it
-R/T
-SE
-4 spd instead of the base 3 spd
-Bee Stripe , not green or pink , I will have it painted correctly & take some pix of it   :puke:     but I will probably order  black or silver  stripe to put on top , I thought Chrysler warned against building stupid color combos , this car wasn`t even ordered , Chrysler built it this way  :banghead:
With a Purple car , black roof , black interior & Tinted glass I could see #1 choice being a Black stripe , 2 Silver , 3 white , 4 Gunmetal, 5 Gold , it is none of these
 
They almost could not have built it with less options
