I’ve got the grille fully disassembled and I am ready to repair the few cracks in it and then move forward.
The headlight doors pivot on steel brackets that are riveted to the plastic frame, and I would like to remove these and blast them, paint them and then reinstall them later.
The rivets...
So I’ve restored the steel front grille mounting surround from my 69 charger, and the next step will be to restore the plastic grille itself that mounts back into the steel frame.
I’m looking for hints or tips on things like how to go about removing the fasteners that hold the stainless trim...
I’ve tried it both ways and have the same issue. I’m assuming the correct orientation is with the notch in the catch base facing out?
I’ll give shimming the catch up with a couple of small washers a shot

My previous charger was a 68, so I was assuming 69’s had the medallions as well
Really? My car is a survivor bought off of the original owner, very rough but untouched.
It has the correct 69 dash texture as opposed to the 68 vertical lines.
I’m in the middle of restoring my plain Jane 318 69 charger car, as well as the dash.
The dash “medallion” that goes at the top of the dash between the tic tic tac and the speedo is long gone from my car.
I see there are a couple of options out there that are referred to as “early” or “late”...
