1971 Dodge Demon Stripe Kits!! NEED PICTURES - 06/03/11 01:23 AM

Hi, My 1971 Demon340 is just coming out of the body shop and the stripe kit I bought does not look correct?? Yes, I know I bought it on Ebag 2 years ago but, please help!! The tail panel stripe looks to square and the side stripes seem to be coming down over the wheel well...I just got off the phone with Phoenix Graphics and he said there kit also would come down in that area?? I have seen pictures of it higher and some similar to mine...

What is correct?? I do not mind buying a new kit....

The 340 on the tailpanel is down way too low.

Original stripes on my car and yes, they come down really close to the wheel opening.

Thanks. Sorry, no pics of the back of my car on the computer. However, I just ran down to the garage and looked at mine. Your tailpanel stripes are not right. They don't look rounded enough around the taillights. Also, where is the circular hole for the trunk key. And, it looks like there isn't any white sticker material behind where the Demon sticker is placed. I realize that placement of the 340 sticker on the tail panel could have varied some from the factory. My "34" is actually touching the bottom of the "on".

Yup!! just what caught my eye...I thought the tail stripe was too square and not rounded enough on the corners...Good question on the lock? As for the stripe backing behind the demon?? I have called 3 different companies and they tell me there was no difference between 71 and 72 but, graphics express shows the backing on 71's?? Phoenix and Performance Car Graphics does not have the backing? Do I just leave it and move the 340 up??

Then it was painted in 1979/80 and assuming they ordered the stripe from the dealer here it is today, looks just the same as the 1975 pic above as delivered from the factory.

I am thinking of just replacing the rear stripe since, Phoenix told me there side stripe kit will come down that low on the quarters also??? The only company I see that sells the correct rear stripe looks like performance car graphics...

I agree with abemon. I've been noticing this for about a year or so. It all started with that blue one that was in MCG... The one with the crazy wide/deep rear rims and rubberband tires. Something just doesn't look "right" about the stripes. The OP's picture from the side looks sort of suspicious too. The stripe, top and bottom halves are not identical, perhaps the reproductions are. Maybe I'm just crazy, but abemon's and mine look right, others do not. When you buy a set of reproduction stripes, are they left and right side specific because I believe the originals are.

I think the OP's stripes are on the wrong sides and therefore, upside down. Or maybe I'm

the width of my side stripes top and bottom on center above the rear wheel opening is 2 5/32". How wide are yours Pinkduster? in the pic they look wider than mine.

Re: 1971 Dodge Demon Stripe Kits!! NEED PICTURES - 06/03/11 10:15 PM

Okay, I measured the stripes on my quarter panels. I'm working by myself so I don't have anybody to hold the tape measure for me. I'm trying to go off the center of the rallye wheel center cap. The bottom stripe is 2 5/32, but the top stripe looks more like 2 3/16. At the front edge of the quarter where the stripe stops and goes into the door jamb, I get 1 5/32 on the bottom stripe and 1 1/16 on the top stripe. Its the beginning of the stripe that usually catches my eye. The bottom stripe is slightly fatter in the beginning and I think the whole "arc" is slightly different from top to bottom.

OK,

Just ordered a new kit from Performance Car Graphics!! After talking with Dave there he told me that the quarter panel stripe is different from right to left and if the kit I have does not state right or left the stripe would look wrong! My kit quarter stripes are identical??? Of course upon removal...tail panel came off perfect and quarter pulled some clear off!!

Just thought after all the money into restoration why not make the car look correct!! I wish I thought of that 2 years ago when I bought the POS!! stripe kit.

As for the quarter stripe Dave stated that the stripe should not touch the flare in the quarter!! I have seen stripes both ways so what is correct and what looks better
I personally like it not touching so that is the way I am going but, then again once the stripe gets here it probable will go on exactly the same as the last stripe knowing my luck!!

Dave at PERFORMANCE CAR GRAPHICS is the absolute best in the business. He's been making stripes for Mopars for over 25 years.
When you receive your stripe kit, not only will each piece have the date of manufacture, but it will be marked "top" , "bottom", "left", "right", etc...very strict attention to detail. They will also come with instructions as well as photos and measurements for placement.

I will never buy my stripe kits from any other manufacture...ever!

Cool! That means I'm NOT crazy.

I'm sure factory placement varied to a degree. My original stripes do come down slightly into the flare, but do not get near the actual lip.

Most of the stripes I ever got for my other cars are from Performance car graphics. They've always been a pleasure to deal with.

I mark my Demon side stripes with D and P on all of the pieces because there is a slight difference between the arc of the qtr panel stripes and the top and bottom sections of the fender and door stripes are not truly symmetrical either. My tail panel is the 72 style without the little "dip" for the Demon Decal placement. I could easily add that to mine if someone gave me accurate measurements on size and placement.
