Linkas 70 Challenger

by **Linka** » 29 Aug 2007 19:14

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!! :mrgreen:

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. :thumbsup:

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.. :mrgreen:

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! :thumbsup:

Hope this helps

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

by **Linka** » 31 Aug 2007 6:27

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. :roll:

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!

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.

by **Linka** » 26 Jun 2009 7:54

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.... :twisted:

by **dave-r** » 26 Jun 2009 7:57

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. :wink:

Ok Dave, good tip there... thanx!

by **christer** » 27 Jun 2009 9:58

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

by **Eddie** » 27 Jun 2009 13:44

Looking nice Linka! :thumbsup:

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

by **Jimiboy** » 27 Jun 2009 19:58

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

=)

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.

by **Jimiboy** » 28 Jun 2009 19:32
