Thanks!

I have decided to get the grill restored by someone that does top notch work.  Who would you guys do that?  Need references.

Thanks for checking in, the grill has a lead time, but the car is back at the paint shop for some minor touch up work, placing the RT stripes on, and to get the gaps right at the jams..  Here are some pics taken in the parking lot of the shop.

Not sure if you guys heard the bad news about the new fenders for Challengers by Goodmark?  It is a nightmare, the lines at the bottom of the fenders are not correct and we were the first to catch the problem.  We were told by the rep that Goodmark is freaking out right now because they signed off the tooling that produces them in mass quantities.  They are being built in China and was told the correct ones won't be available till October.  In the mean time the shop is going to do their magic with metal work so that mine are correct looking.

Hey Greg.  I see you went with the black tail panel also.  The silver was just too much.....Yours is looking good.  Are those your original bumpers or were you able to find new ones?  I can't find any available yet.   Don't bolt the front on too good, you will have to remove it to put the grill back in............. :bigsmile:

I took the bumpers to Ogden Chrome out of Ogden City, Utah.  They did a great job.  Send your there they can rework metal if yours are damaged and they do real good work.
