I was looking at my brother 68 charger r/t and I noticed something that I've never noticed before. I opened one of the headlight doors and saw a panel that went around the head lights to give it a finished off grill look. Did all chargers come with these, if so my 69 missing them.  Do they reproduce these peices because I think it makes it look alot better with the head light doors open. Thanks for any help.

They came on my 69 when I got it.  I'm glad I don't have to search for a set.  I really like them when the headlight doors are open.

Oh I knew I would here from you.  :icon_smile_big:  Thanks for all your help and parts.  This money is going towards my 2,000.00 dash restoration.  I hate to part with parts, but money is tight.

Do these fit the '70?
Not that I know of.

I only have 5 or 6 sets of them. Of course, all my cars need them too.

Cool thanks for the info, maybe I can take the ones off my brother's car and he wont notice, that is untill he flips up the head light cover :scratchchin:. This would be a nice repro part to make, hint, hint...

I'm surprised PG Classics hasn't jumped on this yet, considering all of the plastic and other parts they reproduce. Maybe someone should contact them asking?

I'm sure Mike of BE&A is very aware of it and will probably respond as he is a member here.

Just had to give ya a hard time for selling those. Its all good though, it helped me clean out some attic space, and we both know I had no use for them. I had way too much grille pieces/whole set ups laying around anyways.

I thought you'd be ok with it. I would like to have them for my car but I need to dig up money anywhere I can. Tonight I'm going to hit my 5 yr olds toys he got for Christmas and see what I can return to Walmart. Oh any member that buys them on eBay from me, free shipping. Just trying to take care of the members if I can.

Have no problem with it at all. And I'm sure you wife will be as happy as mine was to see them leave the house. :)

I was positive they were 68 only. I've had 3 68's, they all had them, and I've had 3 69's (R/T, RTSE, and plain vanilla) and not one of them had them, and I owned these cars 20 years ago.
