Thats the look I'm goin for ...
Thougth about a Black Shaker and Black tail panel but getting a stripe Package to work with it is kinda tough
My Original thought white shaker and tail panel but wasnt too sure how these stripes would look with the black rims ....but I think the black on the edge of the white stripe will pick up from the rims
I wanna try and get a closer Orange to my car then the Pic ,it appears to be close to the Chrysler copper/orange color.....
My Daughters B-friend did it on his I-phone in a matter of seconds so he is gonna see what he can do at his home computer.....

Well last week came one of the last parts..had 8 of them I bought in the 80's and in 2004.
4 went to a esprit 400 that had them originally ordered with the car, 15's too a bunch of years ago.
EDIT, these are a Royal ( no pun intended) pain in the but when new! They need a tweak right from the box!
ALIGNMENT FIRST at a really cool place that does many older cars

Default My '71 Formula 455

Here's a few "just taken" pics...I'll take some better ones when there's more light, it still has the original radio.
Some minor dings & chips but it's all there and fun to drive, and I bought it from a little old lady down the street... literally, her husband passed away.
