NZ 68 RT and I both need someone with a 68 RT and a tape measure to help us. Could one of you kind people please give us a measurement from the edge of the rear side marker light to the begining of the butt stripe? We both thank you in advance.

My stripes are the same as a 68 because I bought a stripe kit and put them on. We repainted car and took measurements from stripe kit. I don't have side markers,cause I got a 66, but can give you the width's if you want them.

Thanks for trying, but we are looking for a reference point that gives us a fore/aft position of the stripe. The most definitive measurement would seem to be from the side marker. Are there no 68 R/T owners out there with a tape measure?

First, thanks for the link Andy. After asking for this info 3 times, and finally finding something that looks promising, would you believe that particular part of the website seems to be the only part I can't open!!!! NZ 68 RT, if you can get it open, please let me know what you find. Go to page 10 of the 2004 progress selection menu.

Mike,
I can't help you in the stripe measurement department, but I can help you find the images.
The issue is they are linking the images back to a webpage hosted on Geocities.com, and the images are no longer there. However, all is not lost.
Click below for the images..

Great pics. Thanks a lot. From other pics I saw on the 68dodgerestorations site, it looks like most people just put them any where that looks close to being correct!
