As I installed the interior of my 66 Charger, I wrote down step by step instructions. Hope this helps.
Installing the interior? Wondering what the sequence is? Tips? I wrote the sequence down as I put the rear of the interior together. I think it's fairly accurate (from memory). It's long --...
You would think they'd make the correct Positive Battery cable for 1966 Dodge Chargers and Coronets. But they don't. The leads at the battery should be red and black (not red and red), and the leads at the starter relay should be black and brown (not black and red). And, the repro cables...
Restoring a 1966 Charger body and interior is hard enough. Getting engine compartment details can also be challenging. The engine compartment paint on this car is original and just touched up where needed. Note: the brown primer area behind the hood spring -- that's original -- and I've seen...
I saved all the critical pieces of carpet during disassembly for templates -- like saving and bagging and tagging bolts/screws etc. The most difficult pieces are the carpets that glue to the rear passenger side panels. The tips of them go under the sill plate. Dodge also sewed Velcro into the...
1966 440 cu in Dodge Charger: The car has a 741 case with 297 gears. I have a 489 case with 323 gears. Will the 489 bolt in without having to modify the driveshaft or u bolt connections?
Did the 66 Charger have a tire pressure label on the door jam? Were there any other labels on the door jams? If so, could someone provide a picture of an original for placement and a link to an original looking label? My goal is that nothing will be missing on my car.
Cardboard Trunk Inserts: Tired of reproduction parts that aren't made right or don't fit? The driver's side cardboard trunk insert is one of those panels that's made wrong (totally wrong). Note: none of them have the correct surface finish. I ended up having to make my own driver's side panel.
My original hood insulation pad has (I believe) part numbers stenciled across it. I kept it for years now hoping one day to make a stencil and paint it on a new pad. I can read all of it except the extreme left side. Does anyone have additional pictures to show what's missing?
Does anyone have some tips / tricks of the trade on how to install the outside stainless trim that surrounds the rear quarter windows. Does the drip rail trim go on first? I'd hate to scratch this new paint.
With the car painted, I had to restore the headlight buckets. This is really tedious work. 1st - filed off all the raised pot metal noogies with a small file 2nd - Painted with self etching primer 3rd - Remove primer from chrome 4th - Paint black 5th - remove paint from chrome again. Wow --...
Claims of 66 / 67 Charger rear defrosters -- rear speakers -- and electric antenna from the factory. But nobody can produce a picture or manual figure (for 66/67 Charger) that shows any of them. Did they exist? Or do people just want them to exist?
The 66 Charger electroluminescent clock mechanism needs to be repaired. The electrical contact points don't align and it won't rewind. Any recommendations?
I've been restoring a 66 Charger to stock conditions (except for engine) for ten years now. It has a Citron Gold interior and exterior running a 440 cu. in. with clock and A/C. I discovered early on that restoring these classics is challenging -- especially with limited facilities. So many parts...
If you're missing the 66 Charger trunk lock assembly they're really hard to find. They are unlike all others. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/930916657402403
How much trim does a car have? My gosh! I stripped down my 66 Charger two years ago to get it painted and I'm still finding stainless trim to polish. The trim never ends -- a never ending stream of steel. But, I must say, I've gotten really good at taking out dents and scratches and polishing...
I have a 1966 Charger. The car has been taken apart so long I forget how the door and trunk locks are positioned. Do the keys go in right side up or upside down. My ignition key goes in upside down (the teeth up).
I have an all Citron Gold 66 Charger. The interior has multiple shades of green. Does anyone know of a resource that sells the dark green trunk panel paint (plastic cover for tail lights and cardboard inserts) --- or, the light green side panels in the rear (the trim that surrounds the headliner...
