70 Judge stripes

[Belair62]

Are these supposed to be refectorized ? The stripes on mine seem to have the top color "layered" onto the bottom colors...is this correct or were the originals one piece with all 3 colors ?

[GTO_DON]

the originals were 1 piece,no layers. i think the new repops are the original design again. or find nos ones..

[Belair62]

I was hoping not to hear that answer...who makes the best set ?

[GTO_DON]

GM!!!!!!!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[Belair62]

Chances are pretty slim of finding an NOS set Don...would they even be any good after all these years ?

[GTO_DON]

I HAVE AN NOS SET BOB.IF YOU KEEP THEM IN A TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED ENVIREMENT, THEY STAY PERFECT.

[Belair62]

Has anyone tried the new aftermarket ones ? Phoenix or Stencils and Stripes ?????

Here is who was and may still be making them, GM Repro Approved:

Dale's Cuda Shop
22840 Buck Road
Alliance, Ohio 44601
216-823-2776

I got some direct from them in 1995 for my 69, they were top quality. They still look as nice today as the day I put them on.

Worth a try,

Steve

Thanks you guys...I'll do a little research...

[GTO_DON]

69'S ARE A WHOLE DIFFERENT ANIMAL BOB. TRY STENCILS AND STRIPES. IF YOU HAVE NO LUCK, I'LL FIND YOU SOME NOS ONES OR MAYBE I'LL SELL MINE. WHEN YOU HAVE A HIGH END CAR LIKE YOURS UNLIKE PUTTING STRIPES ON A PLAIN OL 69, YOU HAVE TO DO IT THE RIGHT WAY. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

I'll figure it out Don...maybe I should just quit while I'm ahead !!! The stripes look fine now !

[Mr70]

Trade him the stripes for the Rallye II rims,but don't tell him I told you this...DOH!

[GTO_DON]

DEFINETLY QUIT WHILE YOUR AHEAD BOB!! YOUR CAR LOOKS GREAT AS IT IS BOB.

Here is a picture of the stripes on the Orbit Orange Judge I had. If you take a picture using the flash on the camera the stickers will come out reflectorized (sp?) The Judge decals also do the same. I will take some of the White 70 Judge I have now.

Here is a daylight shot of my White 70 Judge.

Thanks Steve...looks like the stripes are pulled down pretty close to the body line too...mine are about 3/4 inch above the body line...oh and a hard lesson learned....Eastwood argent Rally for "all" rallye wheels is not correct on this thing...too light...dammit

You are welcome.

Ralley I's look a bit lighter than Ralley II's the silver part that is. I think Ames or Performance Years sells the correct paint and mask kit.

Bob, Check your assembly manual. They are almost .25 inches off the body line. I can't recall the exact dimension.

Assy Manual says .40 off the body line...I said this before but it's interesting that there are 2 pages in the 70 manual showing the rear of a 70 with a wing and 2 different locations for the Judge sticker...one page shows a "GTO" sticker on the decklid with a Judge sticker on the spoiler ala 69...the next page shows the Judge sticker on the decklid with a notation to paint spoiler black to match something...the typing is so small its really hard to read this stuff...Steve...I'm leaving the wheels on the light side...it took a few days of work to restore them and I don't feel like blasting them again and buying another set of templates...
