Are you keeping the windows up without a/c?

 

[AUSTA]

Mainly for the passenger side & rear quarters every bit helps hitting 40c in some places & its still spring.
May go with a vintage air system

That'll look great with the orange interior.

3M has a clear "window tint" that is working here in south Florida. It blocks UV rays and heat; yet is clear. I plan to run it on my 6 pack Challenger.

That's a nice looking color Austa .. the 3M idea posted above sounds like a great product

 

[moparleo]

Sounds good to me.

Looks like it is coming along nicely but make sure they know about all the special detail for a T/A. The blackout paint should extend to the trunk lid below the rear spoiler, the Challenger T/A decal is way to far to the middle of the spoiler, and whatever you do, don't let them put the 340 6pak fender callouts on backwards. they should slant forward on both sides. the details make for a great car. Good luck.

Thanks checked it out has better properties than some of the dark tint would look better as well

Yes was a bit eager putting the TA sticker on the spoiler from pics appears to be about 2" to end of T/A have spares
I seen a couple with the paint extending under the spoiler but all the originals show the trunk lid all the same color with blackout decals on the rear quarter only under the ends

Thanks the paint guy changed the silver flake in the Go Mango a newer type flake not sure what it was

If you see paint under the spoiler, it was another restored car that was not done correctly. I've owned a number of T/As going back to 1979 when i purchased my first and they all have the deck lid blackout. there is even factory documentation out there to support it.

Thanks for the info did the black extend out the front to meet with the front edge of the side decal or did it finish under the spoiler

It only goes up to the point where it intersects evenly with the rear side screw hole (of the 2 for the rear spoiler). There is a diagram out there on the web somewhere.
