I needed the decals for the hood and doors. This is a "V68" car so the over the cowl and down the side stripe is deleted so I didn't need those. My brother has a vinyl cutter, so I asked him if he could make the hood black out. He said he could if he could get the dimensions. I have a spare Ramcharger hood from an FC7 car. I traced the black out off that hood and here are the decals he made for me from that. I had to warm up the garage a bit to float them on. That was a little nerve wracking! Those things are a lot bigger when you start to try laying them out! Even with another set of hands helping.

I bought the door scallop decals from Phoenix graphics since I didn't have templates for my brother to copy from. (they were only $16) I would have had way more labor into them than that, had I tried to make my own.

It looks great! Keep those pictures coming. Thank you steve70! I didn't think anyone was looking. I see by your signature, you have a '71 Mr. Norm Charger? I'd love to see some pictures of that if you care to share. (no matter what condition!)

Ddue, That is a NICE looking car. And optioned to the hilt is only better.
Thank you gtx! Yes, the car is well optioned! Sunroof, hideaways, six pack and spoilers are about the only things he didn't check off. I'd say in it's day, the car had a pretty hefty price tag! Add to that the dealer installed vinyl roof.

Add to that the dealer installed vinyl roof. First off that is one Beautiful Charger!!!! I have to ask who did your window sticker? It has the automatic trans. included which I've never seen on a window sticker. I have a soft spot for these cars myself and own a 71 Super Bee. Ron

I will have to admit I am not a big fan of the 71 Dodge's, but Bro that is one good looking car. You did a nice job with the car. Great color combo
Keep the photos coming.
Matt Thank you Matt! I kept the color combo original "as ordered" Some don't like the white with the blue and prefer black. But I'm partial to the blue and white because I had a blue and white Charger back in my school days, so this was the perfect car for me! I've attached an old photo of my school days car. (I later installed Louvered R/T/500 tail lights not on at time of this picture.)

Nice work and what a gorgeous classy looking charger ! Thank you ogopogo! It certainly gets the looks and compliments a lot! Those are my biggest and best trophies, when others give me a thumbs up or shout "nice car" across a parking lot or gas station driveway! It makes it all worth it when others enjoy it too.

Congrats on the headliner install, need to tackle that myself one day. Thank you CDN72SE! I've been following your build. I'm so glad to see you got it out of that other shop(with all your parts) and are on the road to reassembly. The amount of time and detail you are putting into it are going to make my car look like a beater!
