What parts are not reproduced and you wish they were?

[cavemanno1]

Was thinking 2gen chargers have a lot of reproduction parts available but is there anything that is not being done and you wish they were?

[Ghoste]

I think we may have done this a long time ago, it'd be interesting to compare the two threads and see whats changed.  I used to wish for 1st gen interior panels but now I'd like to see higher quality in the repro stuff thats currently out there.  Some of it is great, but there are issues with some things like reproduction headlight switches for 2nd gens and trim fit.  Maybe some quality reproduction on the old Mopar ecu's.

[cavemanno1]

Didn't know it has already been done!

I just thought of the grill and only heared of Bobfit's done them!Is there anyone else reproduces them or the "I" piece of the '69 grillor the bumpers?I know the bumpers being done but all i hear is that they are far from as good as the oem stuff!

[Ghoste]

I'm not even sure about it, but it seems like it has.  Even so it was a long time ago if it was so a new one is warranted.  I only meant that it would be interesting to compare.

[ODZKing]

Grille(s) on a 73-74. SE or otherwise.  I can't believe no one makes these.

[Ghoste]

There is a lot of 3rd gen stuff that isn't done and that surprises me a little.  I know the 2nd gen is the big spotlight queen but they made a huge number of 3rd gens and there are a lot of young guns out there keeping them on the road.  (some old dogs too but you know what I mean)

Complete "replacement" bodies for the 68-70 Chargers, I'd really like to see the 70 model year specific sheetmetal on a Dynacorn type replacement body

[polywideblock]

3rd gen doors( r/t ,rallye  would be nice  ), fenders , hoods  just for a start.   
   
the 71 -72 hidden headlights front     I'd be happy to find the correct headlight door relay and circuit breaker repoped at an affordable price 
   
that goes for everything no use repoping stuff and then charging more than the cost of NOS

Is there a reason AMD don't make 3rd gen parts?Is it because they are not as popular than 2nd gen or other reasons!
Does anyone know what involves in making fenders,doors and such?Kinda interesting that only AMD is doing them and they have no competition!

2gen grills are being reproduced by anyone?Why is it so difficult that no ine is doing them?With modern technology they can't make something that was done 46 years ago?
Don't know anything about auto manufactoring but sheet metal is sheet metal and not heart surgery!

[SovereignZuul]

1970 Fenders, 1970 Grill... plenty of parts that aren't repops that should be to help out owners.

[tan top]

  for me  personally heres a few  

 69 charger grill


    mopar performance new   426 hemi   full water  block ,  the one that use to look like a production block ! ( not a world block )
should of bought one years ago when Mopar performance  re issued these blocks  in the early 90s , but thought they would always be available      who would of though aftermarket & mopar performance would have gone that way   , the prices of these blocks , that are left now are starting to go nutts  


 all of the repop parts to be  as good or   better then the original ,   ie  , look  , fit , quality ,    the technology & manufacturing processes has come on leaps & bounds since these cars were  built ,   not want  to stir anything , I can think of  many repop parts that are poor . whats the point making some thing if its not right   . & we are  still asked to pay good money for them  


the 440 stealth cylinder heads  , cast in iron .


but in a ideal world , every part of every  mopar muscle car would be repoped , in as good if not better quality than some are today

[bill440rt]

'70 model year specific stuff.

Accurate reproductions of original parts, also replicating date codes, etc. More the better.

Grilles & grille parts. Any of them.

[VegasCharger]

Can't believe anyone hasn't said 68-69 B Body rallye dash center A/C pads and Non A/C pads, a must 

[JB400]

Is the vacuum operated power antenna being reproduced?   The 69 grille arrow emblem would be appreciated.  Also, some aftermarket choices on parts would be appreciated.

[don duick]

how about everything to make a complete car ? Imagine buying a complete kit and spending a few months every night putting it all together and having a 100 % brand new car.

[myk]

I wonder if the Mustang and Camaro guys ever had a period where there was little to no parts replacement/support...

[don duick]

I read an article a few years ago where they said no repo parts were available for any car. Anybody that attempted a restoration had to improvise and the aftermarket companies took note.

[Ghoste]

69 Charger grille is the best suggestion so far!!!

[paironines]

70 Cuda grills have just as much shape as   Charger stuff and theres what 2 different manufactures for those? I don't see why the Charger grills are such a problem? I wonder how Bobfist made his run and if they were  any good?

[Baldwinvette77]

i still see a mid sixties mustang coupe every now and then in junkyards, i'd imagine there would have always been a supply of those,

What happened with Bobfits grill reproduction?He is still here on this site just saw one of his thread!Does anyone know the story with the grill?Has he actually made them and sold some?
Bobfits,if you read this,which i'm sure you do,could you shred some light on this?

Thanks,

Petet

[Ghoste]

He did make them and sold all of that run.

I wish my perfect vision from the age of childhood to 35 was being reproduced. It sucks ass to wear reading glasses to work on my cars.

Amen to that brother! ...I'll even give you a hallelujah,    Glasses suck!

[Kern Dog]

Thanks!
I tried wearing contact lenses but my eyes are too dry to use them. I see fine for a few seconds, then I'm blurry, then I'm fine. It is too annoying to deal with. I guess you could say that he glasses are like Viagra. It sucks to need it but your glad there is help out there. Lucky for me, I'm still doing fine in the lovin' department so far....

[TUFCAT]

After the vision problems... you can throw-in back, knee, and joint pain     Thankfully, most of these reproduction parts are already on the market.

[wingcar]

It's funny how many wish for parts and ask that they be made available, but then don't take advantage and buy them once they are on the market.  (Yes, at times the parts might be priced a bit high, but the manufacturer has to recoup his investment. And, if it's a part you need and have been looking for with no luck for perhaps years ....well it's better than nothing.)   
If you need something try writing to a company with your interest and let them know it's a part worth their time, investment, and effort as not all of them monitor blogs such as this one.) 
Just my two cents  and thoughts  ....not trying to start any fires......

[ODZKing]

Interesting that you say that.  Because I specifically asked Mike at BEA about the 73-74 Grilles. 2 years of Charger that were most produced (73 being the biggest year).  And of the ones out there, there are VERY few that have perfect grilles. They got stones, crap on them all the time and took a beating on the front of the car.
So I asked and his answer to me was, "they'll never be done because Mopar guys won't pay the price for them".
Really?
Now on the other side of the coin, I understand that these guys are in business to make money. And what they do reproduce is appreciated, no doubt. And while they want to re-coup their investment sometimes the prices are a bit much.  It is just too bad we can't find a happy medium somewhere in the middle.

I agree.  I've heard of guys bitching about costs, after praying to the Mopar Gods few years back for a specific reproduction.  Cuda grilles are a great example.

How about fuel sending units that read properly!

Ghoste,
I'm on the list for one of those, but until they are built and delivered we won't know if they read any better than the current offerings.

[b5blue]

Interior door panel "Charger" script for 70 Chargers and center A/C vent assembly. Also the brackets that attach the right & left side from the rear window to the edge of the trunk filler panel. (Dutchman) While we are at it the "J clips" for the rear side window belt line trim.  

[workworkwork]

For third gen folks the list goes on and on. But, I think the bumper inserts unless you want to tuck in the bumper are a problem and need a reproduction. Also the dodge emblem on the hood. How about the rubber bumperettes. The back of hood trim or the bottom of trunk lid trim. Brougham door panels or the door pulls and trim pieces that go with them. Front license plate bracket. rocker panel trim pieces for SE. SE louvered inserts for the side windows. tail light housings. SE emblems. Small charger emblem for the trunk lid. What else am I missing?

[mopar4don]

68-70 compleat A-pillars would be nice!

[Old Moparz]

Grilles & headlight doors. It would be great to know that they are available as spares.   

[6spd68]

Since we've all bitched about the Grilles at one time or another...  It would be nice if a company had a COMPLETE interior kit.  Piecing one together is a bit of a chore

But I did get it done. I need to update my thread!

H wheels! I think the Hemi Chargers had them, oh' and so did all the A12 Superbee's and Roadrunner's. 

[Lord Warlock]

69 Rocker moulding trim, the pieces running from wheelwell too wheelwell are currently available, I got a set of them I believe from PG Classics, only problem with them Is that they don't have screw holes on the rear ends like the originals did. 

[66FBCharger]

H wheels! I think the Hemi Chargers had them, oh' and so did all the A12 Superbee's and Roadrunner's. 

Contact GlenRay radiators. They or one of their associates is working on reproduction H wheels. They had them on display at Carlisle and the Nats.
