What a find for my new Charger 500

Thanks to Nigel up in Canada, I have a pretty darn good find for the restoration of my C500...When was the last time you saw one of these? It's a NOS passenger side headlamp pod for a C500. These puppies have to be few and far in between..... With this, I should be able to pattern the other side somewhat easily using a standard '68 Coronet bucket cut out of a fender.... With this and Mike's (Dayclona) C500 grille set, I'll be pretty much done. Ironic as it is, the parts Mike originally used to pattern his reproduction kit came from my C500 WAY back when........

Any chance you still wish to get rid of your old setup?  I'm still needing non stock headlight/grille mounting.  I also received Mike's grille mounting kit and seals.  Thought I was getting 68 Coronet headlight buckets from E-bay last year, turns out they were 67's.

Steve.. Sure, if I get the parts on soon, I'll probably not hang onto it... I'll let you know or if you see an update, yell back...........

Oh those things?  I've had a couple sets laying around for awhile now.   :scratchchin:

Troy, when I visited Jim last year he wouldn't show me the super-secret stash of primo NOS parts he has hoarded. 

Well, he would have, but the caveat was that he had to kill me and THEN he'd show me the parts...   :lol:

Maybe if we visited the "Lost" Island, we could circumvent that caveat......

You meant to say that if he had shown them to you Ulga would have had more things to find in the search at the boarder right?

Actually found the other NOS side, but it's up to whether or not the owner wants to sell........  We'll see..........  I'm hoping..........
