73/74 charger new front valance available

[rudyjrusa]

hi - jimsautuparts.com has new front valances for a 1973 or 1974 dodge charger.  he wants $249 for it.  not sure what shipping cost will be.  not sure were they were made.  i just hope they start to make the rear valances with exhaust cutouts soon!

AMD is making them, their scheduled for release in the first quarter of this year. They have them for $239.95 http://www.autometaldirect.com/listing.php?listingid=87&pageid=117

i called them up and seems like they are making the rear valances also - even the one with dual exhaust cutouts - should be available by late April '08

The Cut Out Valance is a Godsend . About time someone repops them . Now just as long as they don't want my first born male child for them ...

Interesting.....I am surprised that they would re-make the front valance. Unlike the rear valances with cut-outs, the front valances really are not hard to find or particularly expensive.
While its great to see someone making parts for our cars......I hope they can sell them.

But the problem is finding one that isn't trashed.  I know a decent bodyman can repair most of it, but why bother fixing one that is trashed when you can buy one that doesn't need to be fixed.

I agree with Twilt on this one . Should have invested their time and energy on bringing out a needed item like rear floors . Looks like the restoration hobby has become more replacing things with new than restoring . I've seen guys cut off 1/4 's just to fix a few pinholes in the lower section .

i think AMD is making the rear floors for 73/74 chargers.

They are hard to find in good shape...  but they never bring a ton of money either.  Either way, im glad there are more parts finally being made.  That cutout rear valance will be sweet.  What I really want for my car is a new set of fenders and a trunk lid.

i did not ask them about the hood and trunk lid for a 73/74 charger.  maybe i should give them a call and see if they have any plans of making them.
