newbie's tale
« on: July 09, 2012 - 01:14:27 PM »
Working on a 72' Challenger, needing the chrome around the grille repaired and Matt @ MCB did a great job and shared technical advice as well as supplying me with a modest parts order. I have found Thomas @ R/T very helpful, Year One seems to do a good job (coupons a must), Kim @ Passion4MOPAR also  helped me find the missing clips for that grille chrome and is rebuilding my wiper motor.

The bad side of this coin is so very small but needs mentioning, J!m's Auto Parts has listed a grille clip kit 72-74 (8 pieces) for $39.95 plus $13.98 shipping (ouch), The clips arrived and are clearly not the original style but also too large to slide into the grille molding.
Long story short, parts returned on my dime (with permission) after restocking fee they have made the only $21.97 they will ever make from me.

Fore warned is fore educated...........
