Okay, just a bit of fun here…
Things for your consideration and opinions:
· A 1966 Charger (early build) that was pulled out of a midwest field long ago. Think many issues, and
Bondo aplenty! 383 car. It does have an engine. It has never run.
· An owner/idiot that (beyond all logic and reason) is determined to see this car live again. I am
extremely picky, yet this will still be a driver. Shows etc.
· Things are being addressed as they come off of the car. In essence; restored, replaced etc. This leads
us to the following options pertaining to the taillight lens:
· I have a full, vintage N.O.S. lens set, with gaskets, still in the original boxes.
· I have a full, One More Run reproduction set, still in the boxes. Keep in mind...plastic ‘CHARGER’ letters on these. Otherwise, very nice.
· I have the reproduction ‘CHARGER’ letters in metal.
Should I…
1.) Use the N.O.S set on the car...or should the set be saved, sold off, and used on a much more worthy
car (a.k.a. someone's Hemi show car)?
2.) Use the One More Run set. The modern plastic formulation used in this set will hold up better
over time. The letters, being plastic, won’t pit.
3.) Use the One More Run set. Replace the plastic letters with the reproduction metal ones. I haven’t
looked into this, but believe it can be done.
4.) Take the damn car to a small working garage. Put it up on the roof of the building, with the nose
hanging slightly over the front and wire the headlights so that they are on all the time!! Maybe
throw some advertising on the side!
5.) Get to work out in the shop! Leave us alone and stop asking insipid questions!!
Smile!
