C.A. you'll need the following items to convert a second gen Charger, a rear window plug, the glass/mouldings, Charger 500 trunk hinges and lid, A pillar mouldings, a 68 Coronet grille assy, and Charger 500 fender fillers, and gille mounting brackets,,,I offer the rear window plug in steel ($2300) as does Jack mcGaughey (www.wingcarfab.com), I also offer the trunk hinges in steel, as original (.125 wall thicness as OEM) I also offer trunk lid conversion, as does Jack McGaughey, I also offer the fender filler/grille bracket conversion pcs in steel as original, the A pillar mouldings are avaliable from either Eric Nelson, or Larry O'Donnel, currently the rear glass is no longer avaliable, when it was it retailed for $900,...currently used pcs fetch upward of $1500, rear window moulding conversion is avaliable from me, or used originals can be sourced, usually they fetch $500 to $1000 for a set....the required pcs to perform a conversion will set you back anywhere from $3500 to $5000 depending on your sources, and or level of completeion/conversion of the transformation, plus your starting with a 70 Charger, so ypu'll need to source from used/NOS/AMD a complete 69 Charger nose assy, 2 fenders, hood, valance, and both header brace assys, as well as a set of used/nos 68 Coronet headlite bucket assys

Mike, I thought you were not selling conversion/restoration parts anymore? Tim

I'd rather deal with whole car conversions, than piece by piece sales, which is fine when I have additional stock kicking around then I'll advertise those pcs for sale, but being off the "grid" allows me to limit my work at my pace thru referal or solicitation

I edited my title, I'm looking for the kit to convert a 1968 to 70 Charger to make it look like a 1969 Daytona Charger, not a 1969 Charger "500", sorry for not being more explicit on the post 
Do you sell the Daytona kits? If not can you help me find someone that does? I'm looking at making a drag car so fibreglas would be fine,even a one piece lift off or tilt front end with a lift off hood

Mods, please let this one run it's course then make sure to put it in 'best of' or 'tech archives'.
Best, most detailed info for the 500 conversion I've seen. Hope that the daytona info is just as good.
