1971 Polara 2 door Hardtop.

My plan was to build my four door without. That was 35 years ago. Everyone seems to leave the moldings off, not always for looks but out of laziness . I think I prefer them now, more so on the 70.

I understand. Minnesota will always keep the moldings. Wildcat...trim should be the furthest thing from my mind @LocuMob just wants to get me in trouble with my Dodgefather. I mentioned something about it to him at the shop, the rest is history.

Yeah, Loco can be a bit of a butt head from time to time, or at least that's what I've heard.

I am keeping the front and rear trim around the bumpers. Wheel lip trim and rocker moldings.

I just had to pick on you. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a set of good trim, just in case.

That is good news . If they came that way it should be kept that way.. .since the blue car isn't a Brougham it is uncommon to see those trim pieces on it

Nothing too exciting. The donor car donated it's goodies and is no more. Yes that's an Armorall urn...planning on bringing it to the belvidere plant and spreading the remains. Yes. I am insane if you couldnt already tell...

I got the back end back together using a combination of Monaco stuff and a rear bumper I picked up from this guy in Jersey. Also took the wides that came off the Monaco and threw them on with the full wheel covers. Still some finishing to do in the trunk and then the rear window channel. Its a little daunting. But that's what's next to tackle.

Just a quick update with some pics to keep the thread alive.
