WannaRunner, that's an unusual color combo but I like it alot. Is that original paint on your car?

Well, they say the odd colored RR's survived the best,lol. no teenager wants a "gold" RR. My RR is optioned T3 honey bronze all around, most were T5 or T7 when someone wanted the bronze paint. My fender tag listas a 9/68 build date, if ya look at my hood (pic below) you can see the effects of 41.5 years of opening the hood, paints a little thread bare, lol. There are a few patches that have been touched up. (very small) it is going for a repaint when I get the funds, so for now I left the hood alone to add a little "character" to the car. aside from the obvious high wear items that have been replaced its mostly a orginal plain jane RR......

Exactly how wide is the stripe WannaRunner?

From blowing up the scaled picture posted earlier, it looks like 3/8ths from top edge of quarter to centerline of pinstripe. Width of pinstripe looks to be 1/8th. WannaRunner is that about right?

There are two stripes for '69 that I know of; a thin single pinstripe (black and white for sure and maybe red????) a wide(r) double stripe and one rumored thin double stripe but have only seen this last one a couple of times. The single thin "pinstripe" was the only stripe available on the '68 road runner and attached is the one on my '68 rr.

another:

this is the wider double '69

This is from the 1969 road runner option list so I would think the double stripe would be the "sport stripe" and the single the "accent stripe".

Sorry for the delay in responding guys, I have a reference chart some where and I was trying to find it, I had no luck. I don't want to pass along bad info so I'll pass along what I remember from looking into this about 3 years ago. A12, you are correct in that the single stripe is a "accent" stripe. My reference chart has the "correct" thickness of the stripe and correct placement below the body line(crease) but again I can't find it. I want to say the stripe thickness was supposed to be 1/8" to 3/16" and the stripe was supposed to be 3/8" off the bottom of the body line. Now I use the word "supposed" for a reason, as I noted in my earlier posts the thin stripes were applied using 2 wheels placed on both sides of the car, I have a picture of them on the reference chart that I can't find, maybe someone else on moparts has one? the wheels look like the wheels you use to check distance with. From what I remember, these paint wheels weren't super accurate, if the tension wasn't set right the thickness of the stripe would vary and it did not maintain a perfect distance from the body line. As I noted in my earlier posts the stripe on my RR does not look bad at all, but if you measure it, the distance from the body line to stripe varies from 1/4" to 1/2" you can also see where the wheels just sorta "fall off" after running down the side of the car. I'll keep looking for my chart, it will explain it better and has all the demensions. If you see a perfect, as in a consistent "painted" pinstripe on a RR it wasn't put there by Ma Mopar, lol.....
