The Dodge Challenger Message Board

Here I have some pictures of my "Beast" It´s a new paint on it, only 4 days old. Thought you might want to see what I have been doing the summer here in the North Part of Sweden. Enjoy!



That´s how it looked before I repainted it.



And this is how it look now. The paint is hte BMW M3 Dakaryellow. I didin´t manage to get the original paint which is Banana Yellow. But I think it look pretty much the same? Anyway I am pleased with the result.











I have another front bumber which is going to be yellow too. Then I have a T/A hood that I am working on. Does anyone know where I can get a pair of bezeels? PM me if you know anything. Thanx!

Very nice Linka. My eyes are watering!! Are you looking for used O.E.M. bezels or re-pop OK?

Since I´m not an original freak so I take what ever I get my hands on. Just that they are broken or so...

Linka, the Paddock advertises pairs of re-pop 70 Challenger headlight bezels for 529.00 a pair. I have one original bezel left but it's heavily damaged.

Ok, much cheaper than over here in Sweden.... or should I say less expensive? Thanx for the tip Eddie, but how much damage is your, beyond all recondition? Was it just one or a pair?

linka i think you will find pg classic to be as cheap as anyone for repro trim pieces
cheers ian

Just one bezel Linka,(driver's side I believe), it doesnt matter, it has very deep scratches, and could possibly be repaired but at a very high cost,(250.00 for one repaired bezel). It would be cost effective to just get the PG classics or the Paddock ect..

Too bad you just got one of them. I am a carsheetmetal worker (don´t know if that´s the right word for it?) so I might could have fixed that one you have. If you got a pair I would have bought them from you. You don´t know anyone who got a pair of used headlight bezels?

Linka here are two other options: 1). hummer@bright.net for used bezels 2). see ad posted below. Tell Mr. Mark Hummer Eddie referred you to him! Hope this helps

I bought a new pair for my Chally........but l can't remember where!!!!

Ok, thanx for the tip Eddie. I might buy a pair from him. But the best of all is if he could send them buy mail and as a "gift". In that way I probably won´t have to pay custom och taxes (which is alot here in Sweden). But cheapest way is if I found a pair of used ones from a private person which I could buy.

Getting them straight is one problem.
Getting them re-plated after is another.

Get the best ones you can find.

Ok, Jimiboy, does he have those headlight bezels? And do you have any clue what they will cost? But I will give him a call though!

Hi
Motormetropolen in Luleå do not have the Bezels I have already search there for Bezels they do not have any Challenger Item´s

Been some time I added some info of my car. I let a another guy do a job with my car in photoshop for me. I´m thinking of repaint it again. Check out this one and let me know what you guys think ok?!

Go for it Linka! Looks very race inspired ´

Was out the other day and thought I would take some new pics of my car. So now I thought I would share a couple of ém here for you guys. Enjoy!





















All pictures is taken in Holmsund outside Umeå.

I like the yellow beter than the red. I personally wouldn't paint the bottom half black but it's your car. You can do what ever you want.

One thing I would do if I were you is spray the leaf springs black. You still have yellow overspray showing on them. I paint the leaves on my Durango every year. I also paint the hitch. It really makes a big difference. I just use real cheap spray paint for the springs and a better paint for the hitch.

Yes Burdar, I will spray paint the leafs black, might be doing that after the weekend. I have some other stuff I must too, like put in the spool, the fuelcell and the NOS system....

While you are spraying the leaf springs shoot some black onto the pinch weld along the bottom of each sill. The car will look much cleaner from the side.

Ok Dave, good tip there... thanx!

About 5 years ago, I was outside Umeå looking at a Challenger. I wonder if it was you car I was looking at?

Looking nice Linka! What are your plans for the drivetrain, keeping it 'stock' or any mods planned?

I think you should do what feels best for you Linka, but i believe that the car looks great as is now... (Yellow) =)

Nope, I don´t think it was mine you were looking at.

Thanx, I will put att spoole on it and maybe change the gear to 4:30. I think that would be great when I´m going to the race track.

I think I will stick to it as it is now. Maybe some other time I will repaint it some other color. Where were you yesterday, missed yá here in Umeå.

Yeah, sorry i did not show up...
Have to place my capital in everything but the car & gasoline for the moment And anyhow, i have some issues with the beast to sort out before i feel i can drive him that far...

Please post some pics if you got any (from wheels Nat's)
