any word on bumper fillers being reproduced??
I tried contacting a company that reproduces rubber parts - i sent photos to them - they said they will get back too me in the next month or so - i can send mine out to them if they decide to go forward with effort.

I called BE/A Parts 2 weeks ago and spoke to Mike Ross about reproducing the front center filler. He said that he will not get involved with that part unless someone sends him all the rubber fillers and they have to be in very good condition. He will not reproduce just certain parts.

I will call Mike again. I was going to donate mine for the cause & he said that someone at a Mopar show said they allready had the deal sealed and were going to be selling them soon. That was about 5 months ago.  |

I'm needing a full set for my 74, none to be found, hope someone decides to get off the stick and make em soon, along with a lot of other parts like front fenders and doors.

my car was from VA Beach... the body was filled with sand and pine needles, so a lot of the lower metal is rusted severely, upper body and frame are excellent, but anywhere the sand and such could lay rusted out. It leaves me in an odd situation when looking for repair panels and parts.

Hi;
I need them badly too. I was wondering if these fillers can be made of fiberglass. Has anybody tried it yet? Any idea?

Replica Plastics has made all but the rear center one - they only make them in fiberglass not rubber. Company located in Alabama.

I already sent my chrome qtr molding to be reproduced, firewall padding, front splash guards and windshield felts. They were not available at the time. Still need to reproduce the front grilles and rear taillight housings. |

I talked to Replica Plastics a year ago and he told me he did not see a market for 73/74 Charger Bumper Fillers. BOY IS HE WRONG!!!! Rudy, I think you are talking about Charger Kid, he was looking into making new fillers at one time. |

Does anyone here know someone that works in a Rubber Mold Shop? With a slow economy maybe someone would take a look at this type of project as a way to fill the empty schedule. The down side is you could have $35,000.00 to $45,000.00 in tooling costs to make the fillers then you have the cost of a sheetmetal company to stamp out the skeleton of the fillers. The upside is if you sold 100 of them at $500.00 for a 6 piece set you could get your money back pretty quick.
This is a question for all that need Bumper Fillers. What do you feel is a fair price for all 6 Bumper Fillers?

Theres not really much to base a fair price off of. I'd say my max would be around $200. There is no way I would pay $500. For that price I would just find some old ones that are in fair shape and repair them and save quite a bit of money.

I went without the bumper fillers. Moved the bumpers in closer to the car with brackets from a 72 for the rear and drilled new holes in the front brackets. I didn't like them anyway.

Thanks ...that looks sweet.
Did you just drill holes in the front bumper brackets?
Did you have a hard time getting the rear bumper brackets to fit?
