Charger newbie

[Dave6T4]

Welcome to FBBO from Ontario. Thanks for your Charger picture. Photo Tip: Don't take pictures while on a trampoline. LOL. PG Classics not only has the lenses, but also a lot of the diecast chrome pieces for '66/'67 Chargers.
I have had a front bumper for my '67 R/T rechromed by Tri-City Plating, and they did an excellent job for me. I phoned them ahead of the Mopar Nationals one year, and picked the bumper up there. I think they gave me something like $100.00 for my old core.

I was thinking I shouldn't drink so much while browsing the forum...

welcome to FBBO nice looking charger

Welcome from Alabama, nice Charger. They can be pricey to restore, but then again any restoration isn't cheap. You are ahead of the game if the headlights are rotating and the dash and instrument lights are good.

Appreciate it. You must know my Charger! Nope, instrument panel lighrs, but not all gauges are operational. The headlights? Again, not operational. Do most owners have them rebuilt or buy new? I've been referred to a guy named Topher. Don't know the cost yet.

Ha..ha...didn't notice the unfocused pic when I posted it. Wasn't on a trampoline or drinking as another suggested. Merely a bit excited. I'll look into Tri City, thanks.

Welcome!

Bumpers: Hard to find. Replate what you have. I used Tri-City Plating Co. Inc. - Chrome Plating for the Tri-Cities and surrounding areas
They are at some of the major Mopar shows. Drop off your pieces, saving shipping. They stand behind their work.

In this thread, you can see my bumpers, before and after. 1966 Charger restoration projects - before and after

Taillight lens: I suggest PG Classic. They often have sales, wait for one. PG Classic - Dodge and Plymouth Restoration Parts
There are other options.

You will find this forum invaluable: 1966-1967 Dodge Charger Forum

Cheers, Tommy

Thanks. I'll be heading north in a couple of months for to visit relatives. I'll drop it off at Tri City on the way. Seems like a legit co.
