Very Nice, Everett! It's all the little details that really finish off a car. I hope your planning to bring it to Dearborn next year.
The stripes are original. The only changes I made were to mask and paint the grille black; it had became gray and dull over the years. I cleaned and painted the interior of park light housings white. Also, changed the bright area on the outside of lens black the chrome on the drivers side had some dents in the panel. I had some parts from AK ordered to replace some stuff in the frontal area that were missing but want to go to a car show - so put the car back to gether and made the show.
I do plan on makin the trip to Dearborn. I am lookin foward to it. I have to get on the stick and get my AC working. I do think the car is ready for the long haul travel. I made a trip this weekend to Fairmount, IN. car show weekend. The trip was close to 500mi roundtrip. Fairmount is abt 60mi. SW of Fort Wayne - I ran into Craig and his wife Friday night. The car ran great all I had to do was feed it gas alternate listening to that beautiful 302 and the Motown sound on the IPOD controlled stero. THAT'S MY STORY AND IM STICKIN TO IT.....
The wrap with the glue in it is the higher end. Its a bit pricey but works great. I wont use it without the glue. It seals your work for good. No moisture. Radio shack does sell it. If you happen to know a Chrysler tech our stuff is the best I have used. It shrinks quickly, has glue and isnt as thin as some. Dont try to but it from the dealer though. Its outrageously priced from Chrysler. They charge is the dealer about 3 bucks for a 3 inch piece. It goes on the work order at near 5 bucks. Crazy expensive. I have literally hundreds of them in my tool box from warranty connector packages.
I kind of got off subject a few post ago - Sorry. Thnks guys for the info on the RS hot glue shrink wrap. This hot glue wrap. How is it applied? I don't want to cut the harness if I don't have to. How much heat does it take to shrink the stuff. I will take another look at the situation and assess what else might work. I may just use some liquid tape first - and shrink wrap if I have to.
