I am in the process of restoring 68 charger RT and most of the trim moldings for the car
I can find the reproduction for all the parts, only one piece is giving me a headache the tail panel lower trim.
I can't find it any where, please if you recommend a place that make the reproduction one or someone selling the original one, It should be in perfect condition. 
Thank you

I have not seen the lower chrome tail panel trim reproduced. Just the end pieces. I do believe I have found the upper trim piece repoped now also. :Twocents:

The upper piece across the top of the taillight blackout area will apply to all 3 years, so I would imagine it's a good candidate for reproducing.  The '68 lower piece is one-year-only.

69 doesn't have a bottom piece - unless you consider the bumper! ;) Or are you talking about the trunk piece as that should fit 70s that don't have a finish panel.

I'm talking about the upper one. Don't 70 Chargers without tail finish panel go without trim all together. That's how I've seen them either finish panel or nothing.


The lower piece definitely 68 only.....
