79 300 Restoration

[Big_John]

I think his comment was not directed at Cordoba 300s but meant in general for the Chrysler Corporation.

In which case, not including 300 Hursts, I think it was 1974...but don't quote me. I know for sure I've seen NOS Formal pinstripes at swap meets.

I watched them apply painted stripes to Acclaims/Lebarons/Spirits on the Newark Delaware assembly line about 1990 or so.

Interesting procedure... Two people would lower the jig onto the car and one would walk down the length of the car with what looked like a Bugler stripper. They would hit a clamp that released part of the jig and the other walked the length with another stripper (or is it striper?) and paint the other stripe.

Hey Chris, this just popped up on my monthly email from DVAP. Might want to take a trip to my old stomping grounds to see what color the interior panels are:

These guys in NW Georgia have lots of Mopars including Cordobas and '79 300 parts cars (eight SS22L9R parts cars alone). Maybe something you can use.

Also, a salvage yard in Oroville, Washington is still parting out this '79 300. I would recommend calling them instead of email.

Welcome back! Yes I did and he said he'd check but never heard back from him.

I'll call him.

I'll call him.

Cool, thanks!

Cool, thanks!

He told me that he has one, needs dye. Sounds like he lost your contact info. Do you still have mine? Text me your# and I'll give you his info, or try him again if you still have his. He lives in the sticks and cell reception is bad.

Dyeing is no problem!
