I just bought a 1967 Coronet and am trying to create an R/T clone. In my never ending crusade for parts, I have found it incredibly difficult to find some of the specialty parts. I have spent hours scouring the internet for used originals, NOS, or any interchangeable parts, but can not really come up with much. In order to try and remedy my frustration, I decided that I want to start up a business reproducing quality parts. I currently work in the auto industry for a company that prides itself in quality and I too am picky about it as well. I am a senior at Purdue University in the engineering program and know that I am capable of making this happen. The only thing I am missing is what people are looking for in the market. I know mostly what people are looking for in the 66-67 Coronet/Charger area, but not much else regarding other year B bodies. I would really appreciate it if any of you could take the time and give me some feedback as to what you guys are looking for or anxiously awaiting to be reproduced. Thank you all for your time!
 
How about some full quarters for those pre 1968 Coronet/Satellite guys. That should get the momentum rolling. Trunk lid for a 68/69/70 Coronet/Roadrunner. Rear finish panel for 69/70 Coronet/Superbee...Make a decent turn signal switch for most models. Most new RMFG/aftermarket ones now days are flimsy and cheap.....just a couple thoughts I guess.

Good luck buddy...cheers to your noble adventure.

68 Roadrunner stuff!!!!! They are hard to find and usually overpriced. You can find thing but by no means is it easy as going to a site and buying it.
My 2 cents
 
The small R/T badge above the glovebox to a 1970 Coronet R/T, the only thing I misses to make my clone complete.
 
Is there anybody is the Michigan/Indiana area that has any of these parts or 67 R/T parts that I could borrow to take measurements and make a copy of? I would really appreciate the help. Thanks for your time and feedback everyone!
 
NOS Mufflers for 1969 B-Bodies 440 Magnums, at least it is hard for me, another is NOS fuses.
 
71 Superbee Hood Insert.

By the way: Does anyone has one for sale?
 
I don't live in Michigan but you can borrow my 72 roadrunner grill. You can make some $$$ out of selling reproduction 72 grills.
 
66/67 body panels for the Satellite/Belvedere/GTX. Have you ever checked out PG Classic's for parts? Surprised Bankerstoy hasn't spoke up about defroster vents for the 66/67 B-Bodies!
 
70 charger grilles and front bumpers,,, also those old round woodpecker thrush mufflers,,

Which intrument cluster do you have? The R/T's with the rally cluster do not have that emblem; for whatever reason only the standard cluster cars have it.

I had the same problem with the 71 GTX. My solution was to get someone to make a mold of an original with modeling clay, then I mixed some liquid fiberglass, tinted it with black model paint and filled the molds. Once dry, trim and sand to correct, then paint the red.

to get the molds, I just e-mailed people with 71's for sale on e-Bay till I got someone who would make the mold. I think it was the second person who agreed to do it once they understood the clay wasn't going to hurt thier car.
I still have the molds, and I think I've made about 20 castings so far.
