70 Challenger Fender Install Hardware
« on: October 20, 2008 - 12:38:56 PM »
We're at the point of installing the front clip onto the car and between the two shops and many years of being apart, some of the hardware is now missing.  I'd like to know what all is required to install the fenders/hood/valance.

I believe that for each fender there are 7 bolts across the top, 2 nuts at the bottom rear and one nut on a stud at the top rear.  All of these require threaded clips on the body to attach to.  I expect that there are also clips/bolts for both ends of the front valence. 

Are there any clips/bolts that attach the front of the fender (in the headlight area) to the core support or are the 7 bolts on top the only ones?  What all do I need?  I have to run to the wrecking yard today to pick up all I need and would like to not have to go back.

Thanks again..

Do you mean on the top of the fender bolting down vertically into the radiator support or in the front of the fender bolting horizontally into the radiator support?

Of the 7 bolts that connect to the inner fender well, 2 are on the front of the fender that bolt down through the radiator support.

Dave, the rear tail light panel in your sig, is that the original color of it? Is it a JS or a JH car?

JH23. it is light argent from 10 years ago because that is all i could find at the time. The original color was a medium argent. when ever i get to the point repainting then it will go back to the dark. I still want to redo thefillers and the tailpanel. it looks ok but.........thanks
