Can anyone tell me who sells reproduction wheel well mouldings for a 70 Challenger and if there are any fitment issues like I am hearing about the B body reproductions?

Thanks

Maybe Dale's Cuda Shop?

Maybe Layson's?

The Google custom search at upper right of most moparts.org pages is your friend. Does a very good job of searching moparts posts.

Thanks for the help. Interesting read. I will use the "friend" AMAP in the future.

No problems on my Challenger when installing them. They actually fit better than I was expecting.

I've still been able to find NOS sets so that's what I have been using. I think most people would recommend welding up the old holes and create new holes based on where the molding fits.

This is a perfect example of why people still have a few sets sitting on their shelf in the basement. They just do not want to sell them and in the future have to buy the repro stuff and go through this crap. I just do not know why it would be so hard to duplicate the original hole location on the Wheel Well Trim. So how much does a rero set for a Challenger cost and how much do NOS sell for.




I have picked up numerous NOS sets between $300 and $400. It doesn't mean that the factory or the supplier held any kind of tolerance on the holes.

When you have 7 Challengers you find this kind of stuff out.
