Thats great.... now if someone would make some  freakin front fenders all would be right with the world   

[palindromes]

Wow, I only wish they had them 2 years ago.   Looks like they should fit '68 as well(?)

Pic is from my '68 a while back

[hemi-hampton]

I think thats the same place that said they may be working on Charger 1/4's next, Said they'd be less then Hardcores $2,300 each & when asked how much never answered & dissappeared   Not a good sign,  We'll see?

[charger_mike75]

well i think we need more 1/4 panels on the market like we need another hole in our heads

I held these in my hand over the weekend ,( i was offered to become a dealer )  along with the 69-70 charger tailpanel. and both looked great, I can't speak for fit quality obviously but overall I was pleased .Both are much needed parts

It looks the same as the 68 to me It's odd that they'd exclude 68 in their description 

[runningman]

It looks like mega parts is selling that piece and their description states 68-70 charger

[chicken-deluxe]

very cool!   Coulda used one about 6 mos ago!   CCK

[hemi-hampton]

Chargermike75, So your saying you'd like to pay $2,300 each or $4,600 for 2 Charger 1/4 panels in aftermarket, not NOS. I'd rather pay $600 each myself. LEON.

I listed them as 1968-70, but that was a mistake. I went by my invoice for the parts as they listed them on the invoice 68-70, but they are advertising them as 1969-70. The 1968 has a different part # in the Mopar parts books and If you look at the picture of the repro and the picture of the 1968 one that was posted you can see they are different. The bend where it meets the tail light panel is different and it is also different at the bottom. The comparision of the pictures also makes the 69-70 look taller, but that could be a difference in how the pictures were taken.
I must have been on the phone with the owner of the company for 30 + minutes. Many new and great parts will be coming.
Hemi-Hampton On their quarters they do not know any pricing or when they will be available. And that is what he said in the post he answered to the best of his knowledge.  Once they get closer and get the samples test fitted I am sure they will release info on an expected date and pricing, but that could be a while yet. Also on the quarters I would expect the price to be more then the Challenger quarters as I would expect the tooling for the Charger quarters to be a lot more complex with the sail panel and such.
Look for many new items from this company this year! If the fit quality is anything as the construction quality they will be making the very best available reproduction sheetmetal. I was told everything has been test fitted and that a few samples were coming in soon to test fit so lets hope it goes well as in a month or so more new items will be out. I was told that they will be making some parts currently available, but they plan to do them better so they fit properly.

Thanks for posting some info, Megaparts. For me, the availability of these parts is just about right. You've got a future customer here.

One question I feel I need to ask though, is are these USA made parts?
I also noticed that Auto Metal Direct in Georgia seems to have the same parts available, for the same price. Are you both distributors, or is one of you the manufacturer?

[hemi-hampton]

I think I was thinking of that Auto Metal Direct, Yeah,are their 2 different places producing these Charger Parts in the same state? All I know is some guy in Georgia said they would be producing Charger 1/4 panels & that $2,300 (hardcores price) was insane & there's would be much less. How much less they dont know yet? When? They dont know yet. LEON.

Auto Metal Direct is the place having them made. We are just a distributor for them. These pieces are made overseas. I was e-mailed friday that the trunk gutters for 1968-70 Charger are now available so I will have to get another order out to them.

Good to hear that someone is making parts for our cars that are prone to rust and replacement.

Will the trunk lock support fit a 68 and just not be totally correct?  I need those trunk gutter pieces as well.  When do you think you will have those available?  thanks  matt

You would think that piece would be one of the last ones someone would need. I could think of other pieces that would be higher in demand.

Speak for yourself.

  No, what I was saying was you can get quarter panels all day long, I just wish there was other body parts available in the aftermarket. i.e. front fenders, grills.

[69bronzeT5]

Thats great.... now if someone would make some  freakin front fenders all would be right with the world   

I NEED A FRICKIN' LEFT FENDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[charger_mike75]

[gasoline_24]

Fenders are coming in January for $590 each.  At least 68-69.

I think we are talking about full quarter's that go up to the sail panel seam like the ones that AMD is supposed to be working on. Not those half a$$ skins.
