1970 Challenger RT Tail Panel

[1 Wild R/T]

Challenger = painted Body Color
Challenger w/A63 (OPTIONAL) =  Astrotone Painted Applique
Challenger SE =  Astrotone Painted Applique
Challenger RT = painted Body Color
Challenger RT w/A63 (OPTIONAL) =  Astrotone Painted Applique (black early)
Challenger RT/SE = Astrotone Painted Applique (black early)
Challenger T/A = painted Black

Just noticed this & had to comment... My R/T SE which had a black textured rear panels had a SPD of 723, certainly not an early car.... Actually rather late....  VIN was JS29U0B440289

old stock found at end of model year inventory clean-up  or other

@Ed can you get some close up detail pics of your finish panel?  Does the door sticker show "10-1969"?

If you'd like I'll get some pictures of the panel off my old R/T SE, it was beat up when I bought the car in 74 & I removed it & stuck it in the rafters back around 77.... I still have it & it's never been touched that I'm aware of......

that would be great - I'm sure it would still start an argument 

0B100021 still had its "black" panel - but it has been restored now

What would the hobby be without an argument or two?   I'll try to get by my shop & get a few photos... Might be a day or two...

Rear panel appears to be a black textured paint.   the front is black but not textured   What do you call the textured black   organasol ?

Found this thread and read all the posts. 

Does anyone have a panel with good chrome trim?

My panel is good but one of the trim pieces has a crack.  Does anyone have ideas on fixing the crack if the panel with trim is unavailable?

Trying to put back together a 1970 Challenger that I am pretty sure was originally a WSS car but fender tag is gone.  No build sheet either.

Where is the crack at?  @cardudeporn

[cardudeporn]

passenger side about 1/2 down outside edge  crack is about 1/2" long  also a tiny nick down at the bottom

Not building a show car, but just found the crack and it will bug me to leave it there.  Wondering about getting it filled and buffed down?

sorry don't know why it turned the picture sideways or how to fix it

Thank you  I would love to have that piece but not sure I can justify the price and shipping would be risky and costly

Not my idea ( I Wild RT ?) I think it was but I read on here once a possible good idea is to cut it off down the center, flatten it out then tuck the flattened new " flange" ( trim to fit)under the regular molding. Not a "perfect/numbers matching/museum quality" fix but it would look nicer than what you have now?

That's pretty much what i did. JB welded mine on it. I'm satisfied with it.
