Im sure this has probably been covered somewheres?. I cant find it on a search, so here goes.

Can someone tell me the correct location for a 70 RR dust trail stripe. Looking for the correct height measurement from say the center of the front fenders wheel arch to the lower edge of the dust trail. Same with the rear 1/4 vent outlet location. All the pix I see of cars on ebay and the web look different!

Figured I'll use a pinstripe as a level guide. Im using a Pheonix Graphics set.I read here to be sure the dust trail 'swirls' are correct [L&R sided]- Any other application tips?

cheers n thanks,Dave

give ya a ,if nobody helps i do have this infor in my fildes at home (at work now)i can share with you tonight,pm me just to remind me. any pics? Darren

heres a pix

I have an old Koller Dodge catalog from 1997 that has alot of factory pics in it. The dust stripe is centered in the 1/4 scoop and should fall level to the front fenders.

I could scan it in and send it too you after work if you'd like, or maybe a member here has a close up with dimensions.

,your runner looks awesome ,it's 730am here now,i'll be home around 8pm tonight and get you the info. Darren

I know I've seen that info here before somewhere...

Here you go

Just make sure the XXXXXXs "Road Runner's footprints" are at the bottom side of all stripe sections!!!!

Can't tell you how many I've seen with the dust trails done wrong, and it's annoying!

Either too high or too low, or not straight.

And the worst is the dust trail on the wrong side, upside down! Look for the "x" of the feet at the bottom like mentioned before!

Now, I don't have that problem since mine are custom painted:

Cheers for the info guys,

moparmike, thanks for the details on the measurements, but Im a little stumped- where exactly is the 'zero inch line' to take all those measurements from?.Must be a USA term,'cause Ive never heard of it!. cheers mate

6bblgt, got it, check dust trail 'x'

Thanks all.

cheers Dave

Well , I took a deep breath and laid the decals on today. I used a powdered string-line to get it straight,and all worked out well. Im a happy boy, considering I had 1 chance to get it right, that and the fact that I'm 1/2 way across the globe if I needed a replacement!. beep beep !

cheers for the help guys..Dave

You can see the flash line where I had to trim the decal to match the black trail swirls. Was a little tricky but happy with the result. Applying them really changed its look, which was a little plain I thought.

A little off topic and not to hi-jack but....

What was the deciding factor in the application of the dust trail and bird on the '70 RR?

Or did ALL '70 RRs have the dust trail & bird?

Thanks

The Dust Trail was an extra cost option. Dave

a $15.55 option that my RR didn't get

My car came with the option but I guess they diddnt want to spend the $$ on the stripes at the last repaint.Adding them does change the cars character though!

cheers Dave
