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:

did you get a chance to call Mike at BEAparts??

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 .

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.

I am surprised Rob has not chimed in on his progress on these. :popcrn: :icon_smile_cool:

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 .
