Gotta agree with Dunc there.
Those stripes look great in standard form but as soon a they go out of position, spoil the whole look

IMHO
Overhaulin did a car (Coronet? cant remember

) that Chris the Mopar-mad presenter designed and put a custom bee stripe on but it was out of proportion & further forward that stock and ruined the whole job

again, just my opinion

much better, if only it was that easy

The earlier A bods have a strange rear quarter. It Looks long and narrow. Usually a vertical stripe will help "shorten it" But if it is in the wrong place, it can make it look even longer. The later A's were OK. Where they slanted the rear more it kinda shortened it.

Would also look nice with the window trim between the side windows blackened out

would look like all one window

Ah, but the racers like the 'post' look as they were the model of choice back then. Still are now really - the 'post' gives a lot more body rigidity than the hardtops without that bit of window frame/post.

Blue's gone to the extent of making a bit of trim in that area to make it look like a post car

sorry Blue, that wasnt a secret was it?

Maybe black it out to keep it body colour, like a 'post' car would have had

It was a bit more than making a bit of trim matey boy, it has a full window surrounds and a post, one of the hardest jobs on the car. It is a post car now, just not the way Chrysler did it.
