Restoration Help

Recommended Posts

Im currently restoring my 1971 charger 12, and i wanted to know what the best paint is for the rims. Ive heard Rust-Oleum almond or linen white, I just want to know which one looks more like the oem cream color. I also want to know where i can find the plastic dash piece for the charger 12 with the cigarette lighter hole. (2nd picture is a new one from a buddy of mines tractor.)

Thanks!

Just like Wheel Horse red, any red will do as long as you like it. The same goes for wheels. As long as it's not bright white, any off white will work.
