Challenger interior installation sequence
« on: July 08, 2013 - 09:40:53 PM »
Hey gang...
I'm getting closer and closer to finishing my Buddy's '71 Challenger R/T. If I may ask, what would be a generic sequence of interior component installation, ie, the rear interio panels on before the rear window trim or visa-versa...

What I have already installed is:

1. carpet
2. headliner
3. package tray,
4. complete restored dash and instrument cluster.

what I have to put in is:

- door panels ( that is a stand along install I'm figuring )
- rear panels
- interior side headliner metal trim
- front windshield interior trim
- a-pillar moulding ( dang reproductions suck !! )
- seat belts
- console
- rear seat

That about sums it up......

I do appreciate everyone's help during this E-body restoration, it has been the most in-depth one I've done...

Cheers,
Troy

PS, that Dynamat sure works good... I think I'm going to use it on my Daytona.......... Sure makes Hoss' door sound real solid and nice.

Knew you would like it. Bet you will do it on every car you work on in the future.

I'm thinking you want to put the rear panels in before installing the headliner trim, the top of those panels have to snap to the frame of car and I think the HL trim tends to make it more difficult. The rest will not make much difference. Looking good!
