I would like to ask my C3 friends to help me locate a pair of headlight bezels for a 1966 Dodge Dart. They do not make reproductions parts for this year bezels and I am struggling to locate any. If you have any Dodge friends or connections with any salvage yards that have older classics and you would run across a pair please let me know. Thanks Rodney

 Don't think the '69 stuff will werk on the '66..... Ouch
Perhaps if we put what you need in the subject line, folks here that have a Direct connection(pun intended) might be able to hook you up.....
I'll add "66 Dart" to the thread title.....it might help get some more lookers. Thumbs Up

Yea, bad thing is this is a 1 year only bezel. No one does repops of them. I bought a pair earlier this week that isnt as bad as mine but still not very good. I appreciate the help I have gotten here. I got somegood leads just nothing solid yet. I'll keep looking and hopefully with a great networking crew something will turn up. Joel thanks for adding that to the headline. Rodney

Rodney, try this guy for leads.  He's a friend of mine and he does have some great contacts and 3 great Bees by the way...


I'll send him an email about the part...

I'll try contacting him later this week to see if he might be able to help.

Thanks

Vette(s): 1974 L-48 Auto. Just your basic Vette. GM crate motor w/vortec heads and intake. Crane cam. Scorpion rockers, Edelbrock carb. Lots of parts still in boxes... :(
There is always restoration of what you have.  Are the bezels anodized aluminum?  This guy seems to have it down...  I imagine it would not be cheap!

yes they are anodized aluminum, I have found 3 sets of bezels for the headlights and am watching another one that Larry told me about. The last set is in fairly decent shape but needs re anodized. I was told by the guy in town about $100 to re do all parts on entire body. Now thats just the anodizing, I will rework the trims myself.
