Any chance of getting the measurements on the brackets welded(?) to the 68 headlight buckets to mount it to the 69 support? Sorry to ask so much but I'm just trying to fill in the blanks that I'm missing.

Thanks in advance, Kevin

Thanks Troy, that would be awesome. I may start a thread when I go to assemble my grille and list all the grille threads I have referenced, the information I have gathered and the actual recreation and reassembly of the entire grill set up so it's all in one place. My only hesitation on that is there are already 5 or 6 threads that I can find so yet another seems like overkill, maybe just a simple listing of all the threads and folks can add links as new threads pop up, not so much information in the thread just links.

I know nothing about the 500 grille. Did I not read that it is like a Coronet grille?

mopar346

Yes but more than just a grille change and a high percentage of the parts needed are from a 68 Coronet, the few specialty pars are the kicker.

This thread is from back when Troy had my old Charger 500!  He has had ten other cars since then!

Yeap, but the one that remained constant the whole time is the Daytona (from the time I got it and that story in itself is a long one with a happy ending)

And the information is still great for a newby to the model trying to figure out the missing pieces. Pictures and measurements are making my search much easier and much more accurate.

Not that it's pressing but did you have a chance to measure those brackets? Measurements of the up rights would be great too.

Thank in advance, Kevin
