RUSTED FENDER TAG

[Toxteth O'Grady]

I am restoring a '70 Challenger. The fender tag is only partially readable due to rust damage. Does anyone know where I can obtain the original tag details, and have a duplicate made up?

Depending on how badly they’re rusted often times the back is still legible. Have you removed it yet?

Welcome to FEBO. Pictures of you car can also help determine and confirm what's on the tag.

Post a good picture of the back side of it and I will see if I can invert the image for you.

Thanks for the reply. I have since done that and after rubbing it with cutting compound, most of the details came up. I am looking to having a new one made up.

Do you have any pictures to share of the rusted tag and then the tag after you compounded it? Curious.

Taking a break and enjoy helping out.
About to head out to the shop and work on my TKX 5-speed conversion. I may take time to post the project and the spinoff projects in a thread.

Okay I am impressed. Really. Many thanks for this. When I joined I had no idea how helpful you guys could be.

Also am intrigued by the dark green paint. It was lime green in the engine bay and matt black when I got it...

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Wow! You cleaned that picture up good. Very readable now.

Took me 30 seconds. A swipe of G60.

Similar 70 in green paint/green interior/black vinyl top combo.
Delete the passenger side, painted mirror and the longitudinal stripe to match the original look of JH23G0B268210.
You need a broadcast sheet, sales invoice, or window sticker to determine the factory wheels (steelies, Rallyes, or Magnums).
V8 fender callout emblem is standard for a 318 Challenger.
