Hello all,
I finally took it up to join this forum and felt I needed to introduce myself. My name is Chris, i live in Lakewood, Ca. I have been a huge cuda/challenger fan since I was a kid and now I own a 1971 Challenger. She is my first project, but I have been working on her for sometime now and nearing her completion. She started out b5 blue with a 318 motor but now is lemon twist yellow and has a rebuilt 440 engine, 727 auto transmission, and 8 3/4 rearend. It's missing the fender tag, but got the build sheet, happy about that. I'm still missing a few peace but that's why she's a project right.
Some of the questions I have are what is the color code of paint used for a R/T grill and taillight assembly(ppg color code), and what is the long piece of metal that attaches to the radiator support and the grill clips to it (I need that and the grill)

Welcome aboard, Chris!

I'm not familiar with the piece you're talking about, but I'm sure someone will chime in.

Welcome aboard! She looks pretty straight and I like the yellow. My '71 is not an RT so sorry can't help there.

I don't think they're being stamped out in the aftermarket, I think you're just going to need to be patient and hit some Mopar swap meets and do some nationwide Craigslist searches.
You could try some of the Mopar salvage yards like Wildcat or Stephens performance, pick up a Mopar Collectors Guide Magazine and check the classifieds and the list of advertisers.
