'70-'71 Grille Opening Extended Chrome

[MJS73]

Hi All,  I'm trying to find out more about the extended chrome in the 70-71 grille openings.  I've seen it on a few cars (in photos) and am wondering how it attaches, if it's readily available, etc., but I haven't heard much about it.  My real question beyond that is whether it will work on a '73.

Thanks!

Are you referring to the trim piece on the lower valence panel? If so, I see them on E-Bay occasionally. They are HEAPS cheaper for the 72-74 Challenger, than they are for 70-71. I don't want to tell you what I paid for mine.

the wide trim mounts through the hood with 6-7 holes , never seen it on a 72-74

That wide trim was a rare option for 71 Challengers. I'm not sure you could make it work on other year cars.

Here's a 71 Challenger from this past weekend's Hayes show with the trim.

Am I correct in saying that the '70 and '71s had separate moldings (chrome) and that the '72-'74 had separate hood moldings but the fender moldings were integral to the fenders?

Yes that sounds correct.

the fender molding is part of the grille

How's this for synchronicity?

That's pretty cool.  I wish I could get it to work on my '73, but I've resigned myself to a painted grille opening.
