What reproduction parts are still sorely needed?

At long last AMD is working on full OE quarters for 73/74 Charger. Supposedly 71-74 b-body roof skins, too. In the past few years we’ve seen grilles and headlamp fillers, hoods, body to bumper seals, and bumpers. What else is really needed to start driving up the value on these cars?

I know good front fenders are hard to come by but that may be a bridge too far - good fender patches for 73-74 would be a start. Tail panels are the same 71-74 and are frequently rotted. So are trunk lids but I would expect you would only see the 71-72 style reproduced. Taillight housings would be a good seller if they are priced reasonably.

I’m surprised we haven’t seen inner/outer rocker panels yet, they should be simple enough to produce and I’m sure some of the guys who are buying full floor pans could use them. What else?
 
Tail light housings would be amazing, however they look very difficult to make. I doubt very much if they were made, that they would be reasonably priced.
 
Tail light housings definitely. Anything decent is over $300 each. Easy price point to match.

Grilles could be same "hard" to make and now are made... on a "profit" price of course.

Rocker panels must be acomplished with quarters. Let's see, when you get the quarter panel rotten down the quarter glass is because drains got clogged, then the rocker panel gets same rust than the exterior skin on quarter.

Just like trunk floor extensions, which are available.

I can't imagine that they have sold many 73/74 grilles, you can still find NOS ones for around $300 each. The taillight housings would have been a better investment.

Nacho or Mark, do you know if the inner and outer rockers are the same 71-74? If they are, they should really be reproduced.
 
Dunno what you mean for inner and outer rockers. The outer rocker it’s one piece from front to rear, including the secion hiding down the quarter panel.

i know they are available for earliers.
 
From an entirely selfish perspective, full quarters for 73/74 Roadrunners. Even the wheel arch area would help.
 
Well that was $630 that I didn't plan on spending today. Thankfully everything that I needed was showing in stock. My guess is that a lot of these parts will be "one run only." Enough to make their money back and that's it. Thanks, Nacho. Where did you even find that link?
 
Did you get your stuff at 1/2 price... or miss the spree and get ding at full list?
 
Say what.. yes the discontinued line up was at 1/2 price this morning! Now back at full price since they cleared out so much stock.
 
I bought a new grille for the 73 from Classic Industries. Got the holiday pricing and still over $900. But it looks nice.
