    Hood hinge differences?

    I am not positive but I believe the hinges are the same, the springs might be slightly different as a AG hood would be a bit heavier.

    Welcome from your neighbor to the north. Looking at your car brings back memories, back in 1977 I bought a 67 383 4spd Satellite from a chebby dealer for $150. I loved that car but events occurred that ended up destroying the car, something I still regret. Then in early 78 I was in basic...

    Gotcha, perhaps if the seats were spaced up you could get the bar to work or fabricate something that would. There are plenty of other seat tracks out there, you just have to find something that you can work with. I suspect you want something close to the originals (which is an option), in...

    You have definitely driven yours a lot more than I have of any of mine (70 Challenger RT, 73 Cuda, etc). I do go anywhere usually but when I do I generally drive one of my trucks or rarely my 85 MR2 (or one of my Harleys in the summer). Good luck, I have no doubt you will get it sorted out but...

    There is always something that is a PIA to be sure. I am sure you can solve this seat deal. I am happy to help you if I can but you need to come up with some type of frame work. I don't know what sliders you are currently using but as I said before if you make the inside 2" and the outside 1"...

    Well you have to do what you have to do. What seats are you using? I think I have the factory belts out of my 71 which are blue I would probably give you if that is something you are interested in.

    @64fury74charger Have you tried the Sparco sliders?

    There are a number of aftermarket sliders which are vastly simpler than the original Mopar design.

    Well the fun never stops... I thought I was done with the seats FINALLY... but oh no, not so fast. When after installing the passenger side I went to try it out and lo and behold, it would not adjust, or adjust very much. So out comes and I try and figure out what is happening. I made a few...

    @64fury74charger I have thought about your situation and I think if it were me, I'd buy a set of re-pop seat tracks and bolt your seats to them. I did this on my 73 Cuda resto mod, I used Neon ACR seats and adapted a set of new repop tracks to them which wasn't all that difficult.

    I got the seat/s sorted I think. I made the Delrin spacers and the first ones were 1/2" thick which proved too be too thick. I then made some 1/4" thick ones and they worked awesome. I am now very convinced that the spacers/discs used by the factory were to make the seats easier to adjust rather...

    71 Charger Superbee Tribute/Restomod Build

    @64fury74charger I am very sure I could make something but again it would be difficult (but possible) without the car. I can tell you this, I measured my seat tracks and you need a 2" riser on the inside (next to the trans tunnel) and a 1" riser on the outside. From hole to hole (front to back)...

    well, it’s not really complicated, but it does take some measuring and making quality spacers. If you were closer, I’d tell you to bring it down and we could get it sorted out.

    Are you using stock seats or aftermarket seats?

    71 Charger Superbee Tribute/Restomod Build

    Ah ok so you are trying to use some aftermarket tracks? I have been down this road couple of times and the only way I have ever got them to work is to mock the seats up in the car without the carpet in which means using wood or even some metal to get the seats to the height you want and level...

    71 Charger Superbee Tribute/Restomod Build

    I am working on the seats and have discovered a thing or 2... First is that while my hole placement was "in the ball park" they were not generous enough to not put pressure onto the tracks. Next is that the out board track (the one with the handle on it) was being bent or flexed when the...

    Here is a pic of the drivers side seat and the plate circled in red is supposed to lay flat on the floor (unless there were spacers added). Anyway, this plate on this new after market track is very thin, I am thinking like 18g. When I removed the seat this plate was bent up by I believe the...

    Finished making the hood look pretty, now I have to focus on trying to get the air grabber to function (might be a long pole). I did remove the left seat and discovered that I did NOT use the wrong holes, however I do believe that the holes i used are not correct. They are not far off but far...
