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,  :notworthy:   Glasses suck!

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.... ;)

After the vision problems... you can throw-in back, knee, and joint pain  :eek2:   Thankfully, most of these reproduction parts are already on the market. :icon_smile_wink:

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  :Twocents: and thoughts  :scratchchin:....not trying to start any fires......

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.
Just my  :Twocents:

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.  :icon_smile_blackeye:

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.

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.  :yesnod:

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?

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

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  :Twocents:
