1973/1974 front and rear bumper fillers

[RogerDodger]

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.

Please post some pic's of this bro'.....

[RogerDodger]

I don't have any close up and all the trim is not back on yet. Try these.

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?

Hi;
Can anybody guaranty selling at least 50sets of them per month for 12 months in a row? I can offer 188$/set, I have expert friends in China that can make the moulds for me at a friction of the cost in the states and I can do the injection, drilling and assembly in UAE with low labour cost. I do all the investment and can start delivery in three months. The same material, the same shape and the same quality, maybe even better than the original because of the big progress in the quality of raw materials. Is there anybody serious here to help me sell them?

Between E-Bay, Moparts & DC.COM, you should come close to your quota.

that would be great - count me in - there are numerous places to sell them - the major car shows would be a great place to show case them.

The front was pretty easy. I did just drill new holes and slide it back closer to the car. The back was easy too after I got some new brackets from a 71 - 72. I just switched the brackets and bolted it up. The gas filler tube had to be loosened up slightly from its bracket too. As you can see I don't have all the trim back on yet but it does look pretty good. I cant decide whether to go with chrome or black trim. I like the look of the black around the painted bumpers.

Hi Rudyjrusa;
I do not live in USA and have never been there. Our common point is that I also own a 73 Charger that is missing these fillers as well as many other parts. Can you really help sell? I can make them, really.

[konigcharger]

thats 600 sets

[Pouria]

Yes, any quantity less than this is not worth making the moulds! That's why I need your help.

[Charger74SE]

I'm in need of a set.

[konigcharger]

i'd be interested in a set or two 

why don't you start a thread in the general section, with a poll and see what kind of response you get   


there there has got to be 600 73/74 cars that need these

not sure how to setup a poll??

[konigcharger]

it would be a good way to judge demand. 

[chargerjy9]

I believe there to be a demand. people are always coming up to my car and asking if I would be willing to sell those moldings  (because of their pristine condition)or the bright work that surrounds them. I wouldnt mind having a spare set myself.

[doitmopar]

Well it seems every 73/74 owner needs at least one set,i need 3 sets .So go for it!!!

[Nacho-RT74]

if lenses are being reproed, why not fillers ? same cars same demands. And nice used tail lenses are easier to find and cheaper.

OF COURSE, as far they are not made on Gold!

[ViperRedCharger]

Count me in a Front Filler.  I need one too.  I would even buy a set if needed.

[ussdodge]

I know we would all like to keep our cars original , Have you thought of eliminating them altogether? I have not attemted this yet, but I think there is room to elongate the mounting holes in the bumper brackets, at the point of the bracket to frame mounts. Although I've been a big fan of the third gen. charger, I've never liked the filler on that car, even way back then. The good side to the change is you would not be cutting off any of the bracket, so if and when the filler portions are reproduced, you can slide the brackets back to the original position! ! ! ! !   Just a thought.... USSDODGE

[Nacho-RT74]

maybe not enough 71/72 rear bumper brackets to all of us to save the rear gap ? plus the demand will overprice those LOL.

would need also the gas tank filler neck ( or modify the actual one, moving the bracket and fit deeper )

sorry I want and I like fillers. They fit andf fill very well the gap. Gives a smoother finish filling the gap that 71/72 ALSO HAVE

Hi;
Well it seems that the demand is good enough. I am deciding to go for it. The next step is one of you guys find a nice set and send it to me. My 73 Charger here is missing the front set and the rear set is in bad condition, not good enough to copy. I'll pay for it. I have friends and relatives in San Jose and I do business with some companies over there. So if anybody can help me in this regard there, please go ahead and deliver 1~2 sets to my friends and get money. After having them in hand, I need around 6 months to make 1000sets and send to the states. I am sure those 1000sets are sold in 3 months and then I'll send another 1000sets and so on.

alright guys - here is your chance to make the frt and rear bumper fillers - who has a good set to give up??  i don't - please make sure everything is legit - don't want somebody losing there good set of bumper fillers.

[Pouria]

Well; I wouldn't suggest any of you to give up his/her own set. It is a project and his its own risks actually. Have any of you ever did anything like this?! I've done many times and have plenty of experience and know about the risks. It should be possible to find a couple of sets there. The price is not an issue if not marked up But anyway, keep your own if it is in good shape and only send to me if you have spares. Or try to find nice sets for me.
