His rear bezel was trimmed with argent at the top and he was saying how correct his car was restored to OEM. web page Click on the third screen down with the 440 6 pak motor, it's all the way at the end of the video.

I plan to strip that grill someday and repaint it and it'll be good for a nice driver. Too bad he let it get cracked/broken, it was a nice grill minus the paint job.

Doesn't mean that particular piece is right. I don't see pre resto pictures of that trim on the site. Car came to him with complete thorough color change and pretty hammered. Edit: (didn't notice molding in final pic of the car)http://www.alangallantautomotiverestoration.com/1971-440-6-Challenger.html He says he's found the original owner and hopefully has some early pictures. This red 71 R/T pre resto was in much better shape and it shows the trim as being all black. http://www.alangallantautomotiverestoration.com/1971FC7383.html It was owned by Moparts member Luddinton before this for some time. Here's a white 71 R/T he's restored in the past too. Last edited by autoxcuda; 07/16/13 12:45 PM.

Ken Mosier has provided me with some tips on how to polish up the black plastic which I'll try in the next few weeks. Alan G's '71 V-code does have the A46 group put back on it; he's even put the door edge protectors back on the car as well. Lastly, as for headlight bezels, the NOS '71 R/T bezels that I have for my car do not have the blackout extending up to the proper place. I will be repainting them properly and applying the tape per original.

Did he have any suggestions on how to remove the argent paint from a grille so as not to damage the black plastic underneath it so you can leave it natural black?? Years ago 69Mannix suggested to me soaking the grille in old brake fluid to remove the argent delicately. I've never tried it.

I tried that....absolutely no effect Soda-blasting is a possibility on my list. I asked them how it would leave the finish of the plastic, they told me to bring the grill in and they would do a test on the back....
