Grille work - 71 Challenger
« on: August 13, 2007 - 06:39:50 PM »
I have done some repair to this grille, see this thread. http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=36239.0 But lets call this the before pic.

I have dark argent paint from Totally Auto and I just ordered the grille silver for the center parts today. Lets see how it turns out, it should only be a week or so for this one. It is in real nice shape.  :woo:
Stay tuned...

OK Steve... I did say this will take about a week or so. I got the top panel stripped to bare metal and in primer. And I got the "DODGE" emblem ready.

All 71 Challengers should have the "DODGE" emblem in the left side of the grille.
