Do that paint scheme and then add some stripes like this:

How about this break the black on the hood at the raise lines, orange the outside of the hood. Black the cuda bars over the orange part of the hood. You also could run the cuda bars at an angle just in front of the antenna down to below the belt line and do a drop away on the body similar to the cuda.

Na I do not like the complete two-tone, but I figured I am on the right path being a Dodge and all. The orange and black thing is an official Mopar theme right? Orange and black are also my hometowns high school colors.

See this guys got the idea lol:

I will whip up some prototypes tonight with break away/strobe strips, but out of all honesty I don't think it's going to look as clean it will probably look like a tiger...lame.

Think it might look too busy if I had these wheels on it?

Go for the General Lee look, it will be a real different looking Dakota . . . and don't forget the horns.

I have contemplated if I ever paint my truck to paint it 1969 AMC "big bad orange". From the rocker "crease" (runs along the bottom of the truck 8" or so up from the rockers) down I'd rhino line it black. Just another thought for you.

How could you forget the Dixie horns?! lol

I do not like the two toned look with a ryno lined bottom. I will definitely be doing a clean orange, the Cuda striping looks horrible I won't be doing that either (maybe if it was another color besides orange).

Big Bad Orange:

I like the look of that with the black out on the tops of the fenders. Id just maybe point out that you dont forget to carry it back under the window and up the B-pillar with that whole body line. I know in a PSd picture, blah blah, just reiterating. But I really like that look. I agree about nixing the stripe. I dont think it would look to bad with Vector wheels on it if you are going for that look.

Just dont put on 01 on the door or a rebel flag on the roof. There is only one General Lee, and it aint a Dakota, Chevy Pick-up, or any other cobbled together rattle can job.
