'69 charger chrome strips that go on the top of the doors (outside the windows).  I'm talking about new ones.  I could probably aquire used ones somewhere if I really tried, but I figured since the body shop lost/threw away the old ones and I put new chrome all the rest of the way around the window opennings, I might as well go new on the door tops too.

Anybody know where to get them new?

Also, the triangle shaped cradles that go on the bottom of the door window glass, and attach with the plastic rivet to the regulator.  Again, body shop lost/threw them away.  Again, looking for new ones preferably....  (I have all new glass and it doesn't come with anythign attached to it...)




Neither of those parts are available new as far as I know. Scrounge want ads, eBay, or swap meets.
I might have a used window guide, I can check.

Sac huh? I lived in Citrus Heights as a little kid. I am in Napa.

That's funny I moved from citrus heights 2 years ago to Rio Linda just down elkhorn blvd near the airport. Used to live off of antelope near rusch park. Hell napa isn't that far down the road. Nice to see that there is someone with a charger near me. :2thumbs:

The front and rear bumper to body filler. ('73 car) and the halo vinyl top same car. The seams are further apart on the full top than on the halo top. If you cut the full top down the seams end up damn near on top of the halo edge trim.
I may be schizophrenic but at least I have us!

Real gator grain. Not for mine, but still made of pure unobtanium.


My brother got a repo gator grain for his '70 Bee a few years ago.  Don't remember who he got it from though.

Yeah, several places have them... a few places like "ALL Vinyl Fabrics" sell a good Marine Grade vinyl at a "Reasonable Price" which is probably better than the original anyway, but if you just have to have the "Original Mopar" look, then Legendary is your only choice, as far as know.

He got it from Ledendary, I asked him last night.
I have all the info to be a dealer for them through the body shop, should really fill it out and send it in.

I don't have new, but I have a spare set of doors that has them that I could part with.  I'm near Edmonton, Alberta.

Those pieces are stainless.  Buy old and have them polished.  Quality is better then new stuff and it will look brand new.  I re-polished all of my original stuff and some of the pieces were bent.  All of them look brand new now.

I think you were looking for the TRW style, no? Federal pumps are readily available...it's the TRW ones that are rare.

Hey... we're NOT all in castles out here. There are a few trailer parks. Regular people just like anywhere else.
I moved here because I wanted to have some elbow room. My last house and lot was small. I just couldn't store cars, parts and projects like I wanted. I love this location.

wasn't it just a plastic little round thingy that covers a dash mounting screw? I didn't know there was a "R/T" one..all I have seen are the little "delta" or "triangle" style
