[@angelcedeno26]

Nice video,the problem I'm having is when I push on the bumber it flexes some and that play, causes the headlights to shake over bumpy roads which is so annoying to see the light bouncing with the roads surface, the headlights and bulbs are as tight as they can be,if I face a wall with the lights on and push on the front end,the headlight beam moves as well,does this sound like a major repair?

[@AutoWizard94]

Maybe the the lower tabs on the headlight are broken making it wobble , it hard to tell without disassembling it

[@haleslyons]

It feels so wrong to see it without any front! Lmao. Great works!!

did he measure the Fram before you put the new radiator support that was a hard hit and made sure everything is straight or the frame rails had no buckles in them etc.

Mike Nolan yes we did the radiator support took most of the damage the frame rails were intact without any damage to them

Great Video! Do you happen to know the name of the smooth plastic part that runs horizontal across the front between the bumper cover and the Grille Assembly/Action Crash? It appears to be a part of the Grill but I cant ID the name of the part exactly.

I could really use your help through text of course. I am putting my SXT back together the same thing happened with the same kind of impact. At this time I've already replaced the radiator condenser bar and the lower tier bar plus the left and the right fender however I stop there to order more parts but when the energy absorption bar comes the headlight bumper and Hood I won't know how to wire it a lot of my wires were cut and I don't know the pieces to order to clip them together into the headlights fog lights etc can you help me with that if we could email each other I can send you a list of things that I have on the way and you can tell me what else I need such as the names of the clips which wires are which and I even send you videos showing you what it's like at this time and when I put the larger pieces on

This is some mighty work. I got a few questions, firstly, what tool is that you’re using to take out the bolts of the fenders and radiator support? Secondly, do you think the millimeter sizes would differ on the Chargers? And lastly what socket size was the front impact steel bar piece? Mine is a 2012 and I’m trying to take the fender and radiator support off. Would love to hear from you soon as you can! Have you a like!

[@AutoWizard94]

What’s up bro , I’m using and impact tool. They’re all gonna be pretty much the same, unless they’ve been messed with before. Dodge loves to use 8mm, 10mm, 13mm, 18mm. Your regular set of tools should carry all you need

What’s the best place to get a near bumper already painted?

[@AutoWizard94]

🤔 I’ve never received a bumper cover that’s pre-painted we always paint them. Maybe try a general Google search

[@LMBC6Brian]

It doesnt matter how "banged up" a body panel is, a true bodyman would never rip anything off of a car thats being repaired. There are bolts and fasteners going into good or salvageable panels, and you probably just did more damage than necessary. A true bodyman would still take great care removing even throw away parts. You never know what you might need.

@@angelcedeno26 Honestly I've never had that problem brother and without looking at it it'll be tough to to see what the actual problem is .
