Does anyone repop the SE tail panel? I don't think so, but figured I'd ask.
If not, any recommendations on to whom I can send mine to get it restored? Mine has a few dings and was shoddily painted black over the original textured argent.

I used MCB to do my Barracuda grilles/headlights. They came out nice but weren't cheap. Maybe because of the work involved as compared to an SE panel.

No one repops those. There are a few places you can talk to about restoring yours. I think Special T's would do them. Also that MCB place in MI might. Metro did have an SE 70 Challenger repro rear tail panel many years/decades ago, however their shop fire destroyed the tooling to continue making these, they had proposed a new release, but that fell short, they are no longer in the Mopar repro market offering anything as of late, the E body interior panels being their last marketing offer...there's always a chance some vendor/customer has one sitting on a shelf?...but for now, NO$ or used/reconditioned is your best bet if yours is too damaged

I bought an NOS one in the box back in 1988 at the Papas Dodge show in Farmington Connecticut. The guy had about twenty of them new in the boxes. If I had known they would sell for $1500 each today I would have bought all of them. I paid $99.00 for it back then.

Thanks. I was able to pick up a NOS panel recently. Haven't tried to put it on yet. Luckily, my 1/4s haven't been cut in the panel mounting area or need to be.
