Thanks for that Jackie, gave me just what I wanted to see.   :bigsmile:
Those stripes really set the Challenger off very well, there will now be no catching you, make sure you leave the Bow Tie behind where it belongs.   :cheers:

Looking great!  Love the stripes!  How was the jaunt down the street?  Are you happy with the performance?

Jackie,
I like the stripes but they didn't get put on straight.  Or is it just an optical illusion? I have to stand back and look at them before I start with the squeegee.  Looks like he stood too close. Was he a stripe rookie?

I'm looking at the stripe to body line gap.
