    Hockey Stripe on a 73?
    « on: March 07, 2014 - 08:08:38 PM »
    I have a 73 Cuda. I do not like the wide 73 issue stripe but I like Hockey stripes.  I am thinking seriously about breaching the code of originality by putting one on my 73.
    Would you do it?  The car will not be shown and I guess I justify it by telling myself that 99.9 percent of people don't know the difference but that .1 percent will give me sh*t for doing it.
    Help me decide.
    Oh, it's a 340.

    If that is the look you like, then I say go for it.  :2thumbs: It is your car and you are the driver/owner, it is your right to personalize it how you want. What colour car and hockey stick are you going to go with  :popcorn:

    My motto .... Your car your way. Your not going to get grief from me.
    While there is always an ass in the crowd, tell'em to go F themselves! The half of them don't even own a car much less up to the a as standard there (remarking or trying) to tear you down at!

    Correct except for Keisler 5 speed. It is in for paint now and was Rallye Red but I wanted a redder red so I am getting the current Challenger red which doesn't have as much of an orange tint. So, since I have already changed it I guess it doesn't matter if I put a stick on it. 
    thanks for your support.

    I have always been a big fan of the hockey stripe.  If I had a 73 Cuda it would get the hockey stripe (unless it was AAR clone with the strobe stripes!)  The hockey stripe does such a great job of showing the clean, graceful quarterpanel lines on a Cuda!

    I had a 73 Cuda years ago and when I had it painted I put a hockey stripe on it.  Had it custom painted.
    Gotta love it.
    What color stripe are you thinking ?

    JUST like that; red with black stripe. only with 340 on it. 
    What color red is that? Looks redder than Rallye, which I like. Redder I mean.
    thanks.
