Anyone have a source for the rear light housing for a  73 charger? I only need the passenger side.

Thanks.

I wish.  I've been looking for reasonably priced good ones for a while now.
What is wrong with yours?

I broken BADLY ( when I say badly, is really BADLY ) my driver side housing 2 weeks ago trying to remove the lense to service the sockets with dielectric grease. Had to rebuilt, epoxy and refinish it

the fun is this piece was NOS around 8 years ago when I got ( lense included ) and my passenger side wich is still the factory one is still "nice" considering the ages... just tabs broken and fixed, one socket replaced.
Venezuelan RT 74 400 4bbl, 727, 8.75 3.23 open. Now stroked with 440 crank and 3.55 SG. Here is the History and how is actually: http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,7603.0/all.html

Some how it's warped severely although the lens is fine (for being 40 years old). I was thinking of making one out of sheet metal. The driver's side is in very good condition so I can use it as a sample.

My driver side is warped, so I will be looking for that one anyway...  Wish someone would repop them...

Oh I found numerous places that would redo existing ... for an ungodly amount of money.
Most of the places I e-mailed got back to me, names I forget though.
$425 from this place: gvbgennie@aol.com

$425? Making one out of sheet metal is sounding better and better.

ODZKing

Yeah, $425 was to rechrome 2 bezels/housings.  Any repairs were extra.
All I did was google plastic chroming and e-mailed everybody.  Some wanted to see them, some quoted between ___ and ___ .
Some won't touch them like Atlas ... they said no.
Some said it would be experimental ... they's not done those before.
The issue with our tail housings are mostly that socket that will have to me molded off.  Then moulded back on.  :shruggy:
