Deck lid strips ?

rear deck lid stripes on a RR

Since we're talking about stripes and vinyl tops what do you think about stripes on the rear deck lid ?

Original topic rear deck stripes... I dabbled a little, with stripes, when I primed my car, allot of people liked them, even the most purist in my little Mopar group, BUT I still don't know if I would paint them permanent, a couple bad photos below... I know it's not a Mopar thing, I know the hood is a 69.5 too, they never made a 6bbl in 68 either/let alone a 383/479-6bbl either, 68 RR never came with buckets either, I have all of them... but I also build my car how I want it, drive it like I stole it & damn the rest...LOL... some times you just have to say WTF, do what you like... But I also hate the rear go wing on a 68-69, or a bumble bee stripe on something other than a Dodge, or the big Plymouth decals that came on the Superbird's on anything but a Superbird, so I guess I'm a little anal about the not factory equipped stuff too...LOL... too each their own thou, it's not my car, not my $$$... I also did kind of a GTX treatment down the side, it seems everyone that looked at it, liked it, that will be part of the LL1 & black paint scheme when the car is repainted/finished... good luck what ever you decide, I'm sure it will be tastefully done... I like mixing a few years here & there, no harm no foul, I've had them 100% stock & 100% not, I like them either way, I'm on #13 now...

I saw the strips on your deck lid in your intro and said oh boy I hope he doesn't see this thread lol ! I guess you and I are the only ones who might consider them . Some of the guys said some real harsh things about the stripes and that's ok with me , I am not the kind of guy that follows the pack or afraid to speak my mind . As you know by checking out my build sight my RR is no where near factory and never will be and that's the way I like it . I think most of the fellows here don't care what you do to your car because its your car and that's a good thing . What do you guys think about side pipes ? I had them on my El Camino and they looked great and sounded fantastic . :groucho: yes I think sidepipes on a RR would look awesome :jester:

JC Whitney just called from 1972 and they want their catalog back.

I can honestly say that I have never seen a Road Runner (any year) with side pipes.

 

[69383RR]

Neither have I and I would never do it , just like I would never put a spoiler on , or large Plymouth stickers . I like to think I have some good taste ?

 

[Big John]

I have seen them.... and a lot of other cars with bolt on side pipes.....

You have to dress correctly for a car with side pipes.

OMG! I hope that's not you as a kid ! lmao !

I was old enough to drive that car when it rolled off the assembly line.

 

[Big John]

But if you do put sidepipes on your car,you will have to grow a mullet to complete the "look"

I have seen them on a 69 road runner - unfortunately. The problem is they aren't long enough and tend to look dorky as a result. On a '67 Vette - yeah - sidepipes look hot - but not on a 68-70 B-body Mopar :cents:

 

[69383RR]

Yah they would deffanenly have to be long enough and even then it would be iffy ,and ballsey , especially with these guys !

 

[69hemibeep]

Why does the guy in front of the 70 Lemans look like he is attracted to the cameraman (cameraperson)? :acme:
and no, I wouldn't look you straight in the chest and say that.

I googled thrush side pipes and found those pictures. The internet has no shame.

 

[Budnicks]

no no no, on the side-pipes...LOL... seen way too many in the late 60's & especially in the 70's for my liken', unless it's a Cobra or Corvette they don't belong really
