Mike is looking for a good set of 1973/1974 bumper filler molding so he can reproduce them - does anybody have a good clean front and rear set you can sent to Mike??

hi - i was going to send mine - but the front is ripped and the rear one is bent alittle - i can really use a new set. If you have a clean set - that would be great. thanks
I checked and I sold my sets allready, except for what is on my Charger. I will need a new set as well. Sorry, thought I still had the extra set. :icon_smile_big:

Thanks man, you charged a fair price and they are the ones I have on my Charger now. :D :cheers: :2thumbs:
The set I sold were not so good so they would have not made a good set to re-pop.
Please keep us posted on those fillers, that wil be sweet. :drool5:
Just please do not take over a year to make them, what I mean is please do not dangle a carrot in front of the 3rd gen guys that need them, like a certain member on this site. Hmmm. Hmmmm....not naming any names or anything. :RantExplode: Like when we were asked if a certain 3rd gen should be parted out or not, hmmm, hmmmm.... :icon_smile_question: :brickwall:

Someone needs to get a life .
i will keep looking for a set to re-pop - but need help from people on this board - if anybody can find a clean set to send to mike - please let me know!
Does anyone have any NOS fillers you could buy? It would be expensive, but I think that would be about the only way to go. I havent seen any perfect used ones, except on mint original cars, but im sure there are people who have some NOS stashed away. There always is...
Another question. Say you had one corner filler, would he need the other side or can the opposite side be made from it? That might cut down the number of parts you need to locate.... I just think you might have trouble finding a complete set in perfect shape. One piece is going to be hard enough. Good luck on that front center strip.
mmmmm... did he mention something about headlights surrounders fillers ? :D
I think BMX should take the ones off his car to donate for the production.
Be a BIG boy at talk smack to me at the Winter Classic show...not on here.
Allright Rob,
I will bring some boxing gloves, a pair for you & a pair for me. :boxing_smiley:
Plus you are bigger than me. :o
But I guess you have just called me out. You have 6 weeks to get ready. :2thumbs: :cheers:
I really love ya' man, I mean it. I guess you do not like it when I give you a hard time. :pity:
BTW, I would love to donate my set, as long as I get a re-pop set in return. :icon_smile_big: :yesnod:

See that Robby, that is how it works. :cheers: :nana:
i am also trying to get Mike to reproduce the 73/74 front SE grilles and the rear tail light bezels - if enough people call him up he might change his mind and re-pop those too!!! He says that there is not a big market for those - i said there is - please make them!!!
no market? there were more 73/74 produced that any any other model !
But how many are being restored?
I would literally explode if bumper fillers were finally availble. Of course, I won't be alive to enjoy them if I actually did...

:smilielol: :smilielol: :rofl: :rofl:
I have front or rear side fillers in OK condition. You can tell they are used but not terrible. They are a little wavy some have paint on them but I don't think any are cracked. I don't need tail light housings though.

not like 2nd gens, but more that we think ;) we are GROWING UP :D
but if that's the question.... what's the reason to reproduce bumper fillers, rallye stripes ( specially phasered ) and tail lenses and not the tail housings ? market is the same for those and those parts already are being reproduced and sold don't you think ? :D.
In fact there is more market for Tail light housings and fillers than rallye stripes if we stop to think on that. Only true is that stripes are easier to repro, with low cost production
Only stuff would it be if repro tal housing to SE ( chromed ) or regulars.
I would defenately take these bumper-fillers and taillight housing if they were available. :drool5: Cant find good ones nowhere.
And I know atleast 4 guys in my area who think the same.
SO, please start making those :yesnod: :yesnod:
I would buy a set as well

So? did one of you guys make these? anyone know anything else about them? There is no reason for all of us to bid against each other so who gets to try a set 1st?
BE&A should be making them. :icon_smile_big:

great.
I am trying to get them to make the 1974 charger front grilles and rear tail light bezels -i think we need to be persistent and they might give in.
they are making repops of my qtr panel chrome pieces - i just received the PG classics catalog and they are in the catalog - i can't wait to get them!
Sorry, but it does not take a genius to figure out that reproducing 73-74 grilles would be financial suicide. I just looked at completed Ebay auctions and there were 6 used 73 Grilles. None sold for more than $40.
That is pretty firm evidence to support the no market theory.
I wouldn't say there is no market for them . Alot of people would buy new if available . I just don't think anyone would pay $400 a side . So there
in lies the problem . It would cost too much to make and market and nobody would want to pay the final cost and the manufacturer couldn't make 2 million a year on it .

What part are you calling a " Tail light Bezel " on a 73 - 74 ?

Those are parts not regulary needed what also there are plenty of those on used market still in good conditions being the most produced car, beside the headlight surrounders fillers what of course is a needed part, however all filers are damaged on mostly cars

Then you should man up, put your money where your mouth is, and reproduce them. :icon_smile_big:
I would agree with Nacho that the headlight fillers would be a good reproduction. A needed item that seemingly could be reproduced at a reasonable cost.

Maybe you should advance him $50k to speed up the process. :shortbus:

Sorry , I couldn't understand what you were calling Taillight Bezels as 73 - 74 doesn't have them . Those are Taillight Housings .
I don't see much of a market for those either . There are a lot of those for sale and they are relatively cheap still . Things I would like to see made are Bulge Hoods , Cutout Rear Valances , AM/FM Stereo Radios , Front Fenders , Rear Floors . But again just like everyone else , I don't want to surrender my first born male child to get any of those items either .
