$500- 68 charger

[daytona kid]

Also, one other thing I'd do different is bend the rear bars or buy them prebent to go thru the package tray so you can still have a back seat.

I looked on here, but could not find, what,where,who did you get your roll bar, I REALLY don't want to put one in my Charger, BUT, the car runs times well below the rules requiring a roll bar.

After a little more searching I think I found the bar kit I got. It says it's for RRs and coronets but I'm fairly sure it fits chargers also. Note that this link is for just the hoop and the rest is another part #. Wasn't like that when I bought mine.

or I'll bet you could bypass jegs and just call Comp Engineering and get the bent rear bars, swing out door bars, etc..

Thank you Sir !!!!

I changed my mind about waiting on the front carpet., I'll just be real careful with it as far as dirt/grease, etc.. I think I'm going to go ahead and put the driver seat in also, just so I can sit in it for motivation.lol.. I used a solder pen poking thru from underneath to locate and open up all the seat, e-brake, and go pedal bolt holes. I'm not cutting the sides of the carpet till I get the seat in. I'll just put bolts in the passenger side seat holes for now, till I get it running.

That is really tempting me to put one in my GTX!

Finished up the carpet install and got the seat in., other seat and door bar going in later.

Looks great but those seats need to be higher. I ordered 2 sets of the universal seat mount & doubled them up to make them like a rectangle & used the slides that came with the seats.

these are adjustable height, & you need that because the floors are not flat

 

[cdr]

one track is shorter

 

[cdr]

the trans tunnel side takes the shorter one

 

[daytona kid]

I must be taller than you because if mine were any taller my head would be hitting the ceiling, thanks anyway. The way I did mine is adjustable up and down also, as needed.

How tall are you LOL, I'm 6' I have about 6" head room, if I was lower it would be hard to see over my dash pad & then my hood scoop.

 

[daytona kid]

I have been wondering what the difference is because I'm 5'11". The only things I can come up with is 1- I'm kinda long waisted and short legged, maybe your opposite that. 2- My seat is very firm and maybe yours sinks down more. 3- I like my seat back fairly upright, you may like to lean back more. or 4- A combination of 1-2 & 3... But anyway here's a pic of how much head room I have, just enough for a helmet., the pic is backwards due to selfie mode.

Now that you have a seat it's time to start spitting on the dash making Vroom Vroom noises.

Great to see it moving along, love that red carpet!

I don't know LOL , as long as it fits you thats all that matters

Putting on front door panels.

 

[daytona kid]

I got the door panels all finished, and I thought I'd show a couple of tricks I used on them. Since I changed my door opener handle set-up and to be accurate I transferred the spots for the handle holes by putting a tad of silver paint on the ends of the shafts and then pressed the panel against them. I used a dremel and a box knife to cut the holes. I also trimmed/cleaned up the bunched-up/excess vinyl on the inside of the corners of the panels by cutting some off, melting a little, and then squeezing them flat with duck bill pliers.

 

[daytona kid]

I put plugs in all the holes in the doors and I found some small 1/4" black hole plugs at Lowes to fill the holes where the upper door panel pads would clip to., I won't be buying any of those pads, for a while anyway. I finished installing the tail light wiring and new bulbs also.

Looking great Kid!

Happy Thanksgiving All.. I made a firewall for the trunk that bolts in on top of the rear roll bar mounts and goes up to under the front of the package tray. I put some seam seal around the edges to prevent rattle and seal.
