Have a top banana yellow 70 Challenger convertible. Im trying to figure out what kind of stripe would go nice on the car and would like your input please?
Would like to have a go wing on the car but not sure it would look good with a bumlebee stripe versus a longitudal stripe also not sure if it would look good with white or black stripes.
All thoughts appreciated! and any pics in these combos

Yellow is to light of a color to have decent contrast with white stripes..

I've got a black bee stripe & 71 wing on my red 73, and I love the look.

How about 1 of the 2 bee stripes that Dodge recommended in 70 for the Top Banana: FJ5-Sublime & FC7-Plum Crazy...

I personally am partial to the yellow over black. Black out hood, black side stripes, black interior, and go wing look awesome on these cars. I presonally liken this to the in your face styling of the billboard cudas. Here are a couple older pics of my car. I have since changed the wheels and added a go wing, which to me makes the back of the challenger that curves down look more muscular.

That's the direction I was headed too!

Here is a sublime one with white stripes. If you have a photo editing software maybe you can adjust the colors and change the green to more of a yellow to get a better idea what it would look like. I think the white over the yellow is nothing to fear. What color is the top?

I have gone so far as to print off a picture of a car and use colored pencils to get an idea of what it might look like. Photoshop certainly works too.
