Hi!
We are going to make a replica of the Charger 69 center plastic grille and wondering how many that are interested?
Any questions: contact me at gigolos83@hotmail.com
Bobfist
Do you mean the aluminum trim I-piece (which is already being made) or the plastic center grill section???
This is the plastic grille
you mean who ISN'T interested.
:shruggy: :icon_smile_big: anyway We Will have a few New ones shortly
What process will be used to manufacture them?
Troy
Casting
so they will be resin? :eek2:
Yeah, that was tried already and made for some droopy grills. Not to mention the company doing it took a lot of people's money and ran (not saying you'll do that of course). In my opinion, they'd have to be dirt cheap - cheap enough to be considered temporary so people would deal with the drawbacks and for people who have nothing to start with. If someone has to pay a lot then they're more likely to repair a broken original.
Troy
Dont say anything before you seen them
Let my show it before and you guys Can try them out ?
I was always under the impression the OEM grilles were injection molded. Be that as it may, I think there's a strong market for the center grille section. I also think if you're going to reproduce the center portion, produce the end pieces as well. :Twocents:
I look forward to seing your product with several close-up shots, the more detail the better. Good luck
It would be nice if all the pieces are made at the same time to cut down of fitment/finish issues. The sides/ends are compatible with 68 and 69 so there are more used pieces out there - but they all crack in the corners and break at the point under the ends of the bumper. The passenger headlight door is also the same for both years. The 69 center pieces can be made using the same tooling as the 68 with an insert. The 68 only headlight bezels are a popular addition on 69s. If you make more than the center having both years of parts will help offset the costs.
I know someone who has started on an injection molded version but isn't willing to commit the cash at this point. Doing it "right" is very expensive. I haven't found too many people willing to say that a cast part will have the strength to stay straight for long. The sun, heat, and the length of the span require some pretty sturdy material. If you can make it work then more power to you!
Troy
I will try and show the product for you guys. Anyone know any thing about copyright on these parts?

Don't put a part number on it unless you're prepared to pay Mopar for licensing.

If i dont put any number on it im cool?

afaik,
Yes, you'll be fine
Sounds great bec i dont want to be any problem for mopar
yes, the real ones are ABS and that requires a machine tool that goes into an injection machine. big $$$$$$$$
resin going to be FRAGILE
I'll be blunt. Unless it's going to be done using injection moulding it's going to be crap. And unless you've got about $40k minimum you don't have enough money to even get started. The only other way I can think of that this might work is with one of those NextEngine scanners and a Dimension uPrint Personal 3D printer which together would run you about $20k, assuming it's big enough to run a part this size. I researched it and from what I've been able to learn even the biggest 3D printer is barely big enough to handle headlight doors and surrounds, not the middle piece.

yep sorry to say no injection moulding = no good :Twocents:
awesome idea on grill center sections though BF :cheers: :popcrn:
Well its a start, and I look foward on seeing a finished product. I will reserve my judgement until then.
I have always wondered if producing them out of aluminum then powder coating would solve the sag and warp problem.
Then again, there would be the problem of oxidation and stone chips or both issues with that. Heavier piece too. Plus... lots of detail and clean up before powder coat. Just too costly.
Carbon fiber???
So, no chance in hell the original mold, machines, equipment, are sitting around somewhere? Maybe?

Saw a thread about arm rest bases where someone discovered/noticed a second supplier of plastic trim pieces. Wonder what the chances are that every part had a 2ND / backup supplier? Probably a rhetorical question. Because if I had a mold sitting around, I would probably be checking into what it was for, and if there was any demand.
I wonder if a "repair jig(s)" could be produced affordably? Just thinking outloud.
Yea, that was my Jim Robbins Co. thread. http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,76694.0.htmlI When saw Jim Robbins Co. on my arm rest bases that's exactly where my mind went. I thought, 'what other parts were farmed out and where are those moulds and dies!?'

Sounds great bec i dont want to be any problem for mopar
Any updates? Progress? Pics?
I know the entire Mopar community is eagerly waiting.
I hate to be a wet blanket (or realist) but unless this part is done correctly it's not worth doing. Premier Plastics did the same thing and it was a major setback for those of us who need these parts. I hate to say this but I believe the only way we're ever going to have grill parts nice enough to rival the originals is when someone is willing to lose about $100,000 on moulds.
Dont worry, we will do this, we know what we are doing
Is it just around the corner? what kind of time frame are you looking at. :shruggy:
We shall meet the production guy in Feb and discuss how to begin the process.
Let us try and i send you guys a test product to validate :)

Is there a way to mold the plastic around some type of metal frame to prevent the warpage problems? There should be a good market for these if the finished product is good.
Sure thats possible but thats not the things we will try this time.
Today we prepared the product.

I'm not worried, I just don't believe you can make a replica of the original part without replicating the original process.
I understand you thoughts, as i say it will be a replica and some of you would not like it and some of you will.
The product will have the same strength as the original part or even more.
As i say, a replica and not a Mopar original.
When its done i send one over for you to validate?
Sure, I'll take a look. If you can convince me you can convince anyone.

But you have a '68, are you sure you are qualified to judge a '69 grill? :nana:
The idea has occurred to me to make things from two pieces fastened together. Make the outer surrounding areas of the grille that need to be strong (the silver painted stuff) in fiberglass, and just use some other type of injection-molded plastic for the center slatted areas.

Anything Important to old cars always seems to be gone via some fire. Like all the record keeping for Mopar and GM classics.
Having been one of the very limited people who actually received a grill from Premiere Plastics, I'd be very interested in seeing this Charger grille too. Not that I am an expert at the methods of how plastic parts are reproduced, but I sure can tell the difference between a decent & usable piece, from a total POS. Also, & something just as important, customer service had better exist.
I used to defend the Premiere Plastics Cuda grille as a halfway decent repro part even though the customer service was a joke. I had thought it would have been usable for a driver, not a show car, but after having it in storage packed safely away & seeing it warp, forget it. I'm sure it would have been usable once installed & supported by the grill frame, but for $550 it was overpriced.
I am sure that the end product will be as solid as a Volvo ;)
It will ! :)
If its gonna be made in Sweden it might be the first actual part that will be cheaper to purchase for the European guys than for the home country.
Talking about the world upside down :nana:
This is very interesting :popcrn: If it is good, I might be interested :2thumbs:
Prototype almost done!
WE had to restore the old one to get the piece
:popcrn: When do you think you will have one ready to show off?
By the way, great website!
THank you!
We are hoping to get the replica piece done this weekend.
But the fact is that we had to restore my old one before.
I know how hard it is to get all muscle car guys satisfied with the part
and i know its gonna have some "cosmetic" differences from the factory piece.
But will only be notice by the most extreme entusiasts i think.
I asure you that we are doing our best we can...
I hope you guys are still interested
Here are a picture of the rebuilding process , right hand ribs was all gone before

I'm going to need to borrow your car for a few months to try this thing out. When can you deliver it to my house?
Do we have a ballpark for a price and warrenty yet?
i will be interested in it as always quality is a must i cant wait to see it :cheers:
I hope that Finally there will be a sturdy quality replacement grille. :popcrn: :cheers:
price can ya give use a ballpark for price and shipping to the states in ya aint in the states that is
You want a price for it shipped to USA?
WE have some container contacts and have no prices yet shipped and done.

All shall be done next week, so i write as fast as possible
No one in this thread that know a SEM color close to the tan color of the seats etc in the 69 Charger?

Hi. The reproduction are three days away now and we want to know what you guys are willing to pay for a replica.
Bob,
That's a tough question to answer. Primarily I believe it depends on the quality of the replica. If it turns out as nice as an OEM section and has no fitment issues they will command a good price. I suspect over seas buyers i.e. US/Canada/South America will also have to contend with export/shipping/custom fees which need to be considered with the price you set. :Twocents:
be easy on us because it is a replica not oem figure the cost to make one then for your profit set a percentage of the cost to make it, example it cost us $5.00 to mold a door handle we want an additional 10% profit so my asking price will be $5.50 then state buyer pays all shipping cost and in the invoice state
replica 69 charger door handle $5.50
shipping and handling $2.50
total $8.00
that's where you gotta start because everyone isn't going to tell you hey ill pay you 500 bucks for one because it is not oem that must be taken into consideration and then if its a quality piece it will sell itself as you get the word out
PS the buyer shouldn't know the mark up its bad for biz but don't get 2 crazy if you wanna sell alot of them
Hi!
Thanks for your words.
No i wont tell anymore :)
I just want to help other muscle car guys all around the world :)
It all depends on the quality of the piece, and if its good quality and people want it you just need too make sure you make some money and cover your costs at the same time.

I agree. I tend to pay more for quality repro stuff than even waste a penny on some crap quality repro piece.

Any news about the grille center :icon_smile_question:
Back in 1985 I bought one from the Dodge dealer for $70 bucks, new in box.
I though it was alittle high. ::)
<----------
Yeah, what is the latest on this? Hey Bob 'sup?
looking good this far, we had some problems but it seams to good anyway.
A massive work on the body at the same time so take a look at this during the process of the grille.
http://www.bobfist.com/Charger%20Gallery/Chargergallery.html
That grille is looking good. I really cant wait to see the finished product. Just to let you know that I am totally willing to test one of these out for you and give you a fair and unbiased evaluation. It wouldnt cost you a thing, hell I would even pay for the shipping. :icon_smile_big: :lol:
me 2 lol you got a few really anxious people here bob
Uploaded some pictures in my gallery showing sandblasting and restoring of the rear frame rails and deck filler plenum

How is the progress on the repro grille?
Yea what's up....lol
Well just stumbled across this thread, and well where is this grille? If its truly a great product you can count me in!
Hi guys!
You will see the first ones in a few weeks!
All done!

HMMM, if its all done, post a quick picture up. Cant wait much longer!!
I mean all the contacts to do this is done and the machines are not ready for it yet, we had to wait a few weeks before our parts could be produced
Its a lot of things to think about when doing a part like this.
We promise that you wont be disappointed, you can trust us
:popcrn:, :popcrn:, :popcrn:.
:popcrn: :think: :popcrn: :think: :popcrn:
Can't wait to see the finished product. I could really use the center section and would be glad to take one of the early pieces and do a full write-up and review on it :2thumbs:
Absolutely!
Week 18 they say the production starts.
Hope you guys can hold un until then.
What do you guys say about the outer grille corners as well?
Outer grille corners are a common part to break off for some reason. I know mine are missing a set.

Just make the whole grille, if your sure your product will impress then go ahead lets see the whole grille!
I agree.
There is plenty of market demand for an all-new plastic grille.

week 18 and you guys can have them :)

18 weeks from now is roughly mid July :scratchchin: :popcrn:
May 2nd, which would be the beginning of the 18th week of the year, is my guess for his timeframe.
yeah, who knows!!!!! But a date would kill the wondering!! :2thumbs:
You can crank out as much of the grille as you want...folks need the pieces! This is just the type of thing I want to feature on Lone Star Mopars :icon_smile_cool: Once you've got the product out and on your own car you can probably have a mod put a thread up in the Group Buys forum and get the ball rolling.
A lot of folks probably don't skim this segment looking for a "new grille" so based on the enthusiasm you see here you will probably be pleasantly surprised with the feedback...if it is a quality piece you will probably do very well and make a lot of folks happy along the way.
Best of luck!
THank you!
I hope you right!
Tony
That's true and even when you already have a grill then still some people might buy one (maybe even me) a spare can come in handy one day and nobody can say how long you can keep producing them...
:popcrn:
THe date are 2 May and hopefully we can show some parts a few days after that

the 68 and 70
the 68 is 3 piece like 69, just without the "I" in the middle. 70 is way different.
Ah ok!
Does the market need the 68 grille as well you think?
If you can make them, I think you could sell all 3 easily. :yesnod:
Quote from: bobfist on March 31, 2011, 02:53:20 PM

YES!
I know someone who would get a 68 grill!!! If it was up to par!! :2thumbs:
I would think there is a higher demand for 68-69 grills :Twocents:
Although, I can't help the lack of others good judgement :D, I would also say the popularity and demand would be: 69, 68, then 70. Due to the 70's construction, it may not be feasible to make, depending on your process and setup cost. It can be hard to find any of them in really good shape and not pay an arm and a leg. So, if the quality and price point are there, you will have buyers.
I agree. There is demand for a reasonably-priced set of these grilles but they seem to be a pretty expensive item to reproduce correctly. I think the 1969 grille would turn a net profit within a couple years if not immediately, but I don't know if the economics of doing the 1970 grille are good enough.
I haven't read this whole thread, so forgive me if this has already been stated.
Unless it is injected molded from automotive grade ABS, don't waste our time.
I've spend most of my career engineering and building OEM automotive exterior trim parts. I've also commissioned my fair share of prototypes. I had about 15 years in the business before I finally got fed up with the automotive industry and moved on to better things. I digress... Point being, I'm speaking from experience here.
The poured resin parts can be made to look very nice (initially) but they have terrible dimensional stability. Subject it to any temperature extreme, and it will warp, creep and deteriorate. Stereolythography has similar issues. The stuff is great for one-off show cars that lead pampered lives, but there is no place for it in the real world.
Best bet for achieving near OEM product quality and durability in a limited production run would be to use an aluminum mold. It would be good for better than 1000 shots. One could probably be built for less than the $100K mentioned, but the engineering costs could drive that cost up quickly. I've never taken the time to really look at the complexity of the part, but the technology and techniques used to build the original tooling wasn't half as good as what we use to build prototypes these days.
Before you try to sell the first cast piece, thermocycle it a few times switching it from a sub-zero deep freeze to a 125 F oven and see how it looks afterwords.

Read all of page one and you'll see that he says he'll be using a casting method, and then after that a few of us say basically the same thing you said in your second sentence above. I believe this new casting process will be using 50% more snake oil than the last one so it may just work.
HI, i understand your consern about our method.
I was thinking the same before we met the company and i changed my mind after seeing and tested their earlier products.
Bob
I can't wait to see how everything turns out...Guess you are just about a month out now! Having a quaity grille replacement on the market would let me go ahead with ironing out the rest of the front end; something I have wanted to for a LONG time :yesnod:
I agree with the whole 69 grill as well... I'd buy the outers if made available.... 42 years isn't kind to any plastic trim
i cant wait till this is ready i need a 69 grille
A 68 charger Grill would have me hooked. :icon_smile_big:
I bought one of the Premier grilles and it cracked taking it out of the box! I have to use it because I have nothing else but I can see bugs hitting it and cracking it. Can't wait to see your product.
Our ones wont crack , we tried to brake one ending up like a screw :)

Tough not to be skeptical, but, I'll giv'em the benefit of the doubt.
I think "prototype" was used to describe the existing piece to be used for the mold/process. (It was translation thing)
Hi!
Yes thats right sorry for the misunderstanding guys.
The 2 May are the date for the production, the other date was the prototype part.
Sorry
May we see the prototype?

There is no prototype, see below. He was in the process of repairing an orig. grille, to use as his "model", to make the mold from.

:shruggy: Yeah, you got me on that? bobfist would have to answer. I thought it was more in regards to the lost in translation.
On another note, I too will hold all judgement until the final product is revealed. But, wouldn't it be wise to use a NOS or perfect (non-repaired) piece to start the process off with, considering the cost to make this happen? If that is indeed how it is made. Not trying to shed any negativity on this, I don't need this part. I hope he is successful in producing a top-notch part for anyone who does.

Is this still slated for Monday, May 2nd? That is right around the corner...next working day in fact. Definitely keep us updated :2thumbs:
If this lines up I could potentially replace the grille as I finally tackle the front valance etc.
Yes next week we hope to show you the piece!
