Hey guys! I'm probably gonna sound completely stupid but don't mind me...  okay what is the diffrence between the 70' grille and the 71' grille? can one hypotheticly swap in a 70 grille on a 71 charger? yes i know the bodies betwen those years are comletely different but I'm still questioning.  and also did the 71' rt/500 style lights comelike this for that year http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3256/3151922463_6e14de5c90.jpg

okay guys haha one more kinda stupid question... if you remove the vinyl roof from a 71 are the little holes hard to fix? and how do you fill them correctly?!

thanks a bunch!! hope i didn't sound too stupid and you aren't all facepalming or hitting your head off your computer desk!

Hiya,

Please don't view any question as "stupid". There's no such thing as a stupid question, that's how we all learn. 

A 70 grille will not fit on a 71. Don't know about the lights. The trim holes left after removing a VT must be filled with some type of bondo or filled with welds. You're looking at some bodywork and paint if you go that route. Good luck GF!

If you want an "open" grille area on a '71-'74 (no center section) use a '71-'74 Coronet bumper.

Should fit and probably bolt right in...

haha thanks i don't like the grills with the split in it at all they make me cringe.... have any idea or range of how much the coronet grille might cost? used or new dosen't matter.

 I once cut the center section out of a 71/72 Charger front bumper and used a 68 Coronet grill (not bumper) and it looked fit / looked pretty cool..IMO.

Yeah somewhere around here there is a picture of a 3rd gen with a Coronet bumper/grill . . .

EDIT: Found it: http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,59876.msg668174.html#msg668174

Thanks.  do you think a 71-72 satalitte or roadrunner bumper would work?

[ACUDANUT]

Here you go.>>>
I hadn't put the front valence back on yet, but it looked pretty cool 10 feet away.

Damn that looks pretty good to me!

Sell the '71 & buy a '70.   

[fastandfurious]

i cant find one anywhere or i would...haha im just trying to work with what i got, the only major things that we're bothering me we're the grille, lights and the vinyl...

Actually, they should look like this to be "correct" - but you can paint them however you want:

That don't look bad.... I sort of like it! At a glance looks sort of like a 70 with the headlamp doors up.

OR it looks like a Rare 69 Charger 500.

Hmmm I think ACUDANUTS's 71/68 bumper grill looks good, if you could get rid of the remnents of the center a bit more it would look excellent

That Coronet bumper/grill looks hidious
