I should point out there's a third kind of Pentastar emblem that seems much more rare. It's a gold metal, not plastic or foil-covered. I have one of these, it'll be going on my '70 Charger. I discuss it more in this topic: Pentastar Silver or Gold? It's also mentioned in Coronet 14's post in...

Took are of a small but essential detail today. I had to figure out a way to reinstall my Charger emblem onto my custom grille. The original grille had a thick plastic mounting plate with holes to fit the emblem, but my aluminum hex mesh grille lacks any way to mount the emblem. I decided I...

I have a link to my resto progress in my signature. :)

I installed new park light lenses on my original housings that I previously restored, cleaning them up and painting them with Rust Bullet, which has a nice silvery-grey finish. I need to point out that although the metal housings are marked "L" and "R", the lenses aren't, and it's all too easy...

Well, during that "step away from it and think" stage, I realized I made a major brain-fart. The housings are marked "L" and "R", and they were clearly installed on the correct sides of the valance. The repro lenses, however, are not marked "L" or "R". I mistakenly assumed they were the same...

Thanks, I'd be interested to see pics showing how well (or badly) your park light lenses are centered in the valance holes.

Yes, and ridiculously, the light marked "R" actually fit the oval hole better when I mounted it on the wrong (driver) side. The one marked "L", however, didn't fit worth a damn when I tried installing it on the passenger side. :lol: It would seem the valance is messed up but it looks perfect...

This guy is describing the exact same issue I'm seeing. However, his solution seems rather vague. Front Valance - Parking Lights Looking at the housing and mounting tab on the valance and retainer clip, the only logical way to install the housing is with the mounting tab and clip on the...

Those single-screw tabs are literally the only thing that is moveable. I've tried bending them up/down within reason but in order for the retainer clip holes to line up with the housing holes, they would need to move left/right quite a bit, and that's not really possible. Those tabs will bend...

My original valance. It was removed, prepped and painted. Some pics of it from last summer, but I'll get some pics of how the park lights look with just the 2 screws on bottom of each housing holding them into supposedly the correct position. I have another spare valance that's beat up but the...

Exactly...the trick isn't to focus on the tool, but on the steering wheel. :) I thought it was common knowledge by now that those were a false sense of security.

I tried to install my restored park light housings with new repro lenses to my front valance. You'd think this should be idiot-simple, 3 bloody screws per side, but do you think I could get them all lined up with the mounting tab on top and bolted in?! Nope! The valance is off the car and...

Welcome! Your story sounds very familiar, but you started 4 years before me (1986 for me) and were a year younger (18 for me) when I bought my first "high school car", my '70 Charger. Very cool that we both kept them, even after decades of parking them, after all these years.

At least they chose the best taillights & finish panel of all the second-gen Chargers for that Cudarger!

Hopefully you weren't looking for a sausage polisher... :lol:

That's the joke-of-the-day right there. :thumbsup:

Nah, I'm thinking this would be a better fit if you're rockin' your tweed cap:

You guys think that's bad...I used to have a coworker who would bring a tin of sardines for lunch and start snacking on them...plucking them out one-by-one and slurping them down. The smell was gawdawful.

Exactly...something in British Racing Green and convertible top. I'm thinking a Jag or Triumph Spitfire would be perfect.

This post will serve as a comparison of Canadian1968's custom hood signal lenses for the '70 Charger and some repro units I bought several years ago. I wish I could remember the maker of the repros but I believe they're the ones commonly available on eBay. The difference in quality is...
