1970 Charger Front Splash Shields

Are these reproduced or do I need to repair?

I would say no. They are plastic on my '69 Road Runner, no one reproduces them. Someone else will chime in here. I would glass bead or sandblast them and then soak in Evaporust for a few days and then paint them.

Thanks - I started that process, but I will have to patch them a bit too.

No reproductions are being produced. I've seen two ads in the past 15 years for these particular splash shields. It's kind of like trying to find '70 Charger fenders.

Amazing what "pops" up here with a WTBuy listing...

If they are plastic, I would think one shouldn’t need to soak them in evaprorust.

70 charger are not plastic. For the most part... Dodge used steel, Plymouth Plastic in the 68/69/70 era.

They are metal. My buddy was fortunate to have 1 come with his car, so he could make the other

 

[Bird 426]

They are right and left, but shouldn't be that difficult to make in steel. I had one missing on my Road Runner on the right side, the one that I found wasn't in good condition, but it's in there.
Good luck, at least you have them!

Like DadsBee said start a WTB thread. I know of 2 members that might have them.

 

[rklewis1005]

I'm cleaning them up and will try to repair them. I'll have some extra time at home this weekend with the forecasted weather.

I would have no problem putting those on my car, 50 plus years old and still look good. JMO

spend an hour or so on each one...... and move on

Well an hour for someone with your skills = 1 day or 2 for me.

Do they at least reproduce the rubber along the one edge?

Detroit Muscle Technologies makes them, but you'll need to buy them from a parts distributor.

There is a different one for automatics.

For reference, see @davek thread which includes pictures of shields with the rubber seals.

No...I removed mine 15 years ago when I removed the front bumper and valance, then bead-blasted them and painted with Rust Bullet. There were no rubber edges, but there are separate rubber seals that are still available. I haven't reinstalled mine yet...they each have several complex bends, I don't think it would be that easy to make your own...

They are not reproduced as mentioned. They look repairable. I would repair them. Better replacement pieces will be hard to locate. Most of us hoard what we have.
