SO IT BEGINS....my 69 Charger!!!!--August 29/2007 **Updated March 18th, 2019**

Wow, send me the corner pieces then!

[TUFCAT]

The grille looks great!     Excellent motivation!

I'd bet if your Mom know you were doing all that work in your crib (after she's tucked you in) she'd shit!      Honestly, Just I'm joking with you buddy. You know, Tuffy has always been a fan of yours    I just couldn't resist the joke set-up..... 

By the way, I'm happy that you're making progress.  That kind of little stuff makes a HUGE difference and doesn't cost a lot of money.  Your modeling and detail paint skills will certainly come in handy with this kind of work  Cheers buddy!

Thanks Tuffy.

[TUFCAT]

Your welcome   Keep us posted your progress.  I always watch this thread.

Doing a great job!  Keep up the great work!  We want pics of the grill all finished up!!!

Will do! I need to find a donor piece so I can fix that broken off corner. Then I have the quickly sand and dust it. Then primer and paint. Then install the new emblems (gotta order those) and then install the trim. Just a question, on the grille....can you replace the arrow emblem with a R/T emblem? Would it fit in the arrow's holes?

You can switch the arrow emblem for the R/T emblem, yes.

Cody, you're welcome, and your doing a great job.  Go to my thread and get the link for the Plastic fix on Amazon( or just look for it ).  That stuff is amazing and will fix all those issues.  Looking good.

[69bronzeT5]

How do you take apart the main pieces of the grille? Is it just bolts/screws or rivets too?

[rare69]

looking good Cody,keep up the good work. and don't order that r/t grille emblem just yet. spend the money on another part for the car and pm me your address and i will get a new gille emblem sent off to ya, just happen to have one lying around.

[69bronzeT5]

Sweet. Thanks!!!! You got a PM.


More on the grille. Primed one of the headlight doors tonight. Gotta go buy more primer tomorrow along with paint. I'm gonna check out Rob's thread to see what to buy.

Here's a good read on what I did rebuilding one of my old 71 Challenger grilles.

Thanks Ryan for the link. I just need to find a replacement chunk....anybody know where I can get one?

[69bronzeT5]

Got it mostly taken apart..got one bucket off but the other bucket is still held on by 2 bolts that WONT COME OUT! They are so rusty its not even funny. All except one snapped off when I tried undoing it. . Got one bucket and one headlight door primered. 

[69bronzeT5]

I got some help too

[TUFCAT]

Awww, that's so nice......you have two junior TUFCAT's helping you along!   Just don't feed them after midnight!!! 

[Charger-Bodie]

that black cat looks like the cat "Midnight" on an episode of the show Mamas Family ....the one that they had stuffed or freeze dried or whatever they did!! 

[69bronzeT5]

The black cat is Stitch (hes my buddy..he hangs out with me alot) and the little cat in the trunk is Jackie (shes mine too).
