    WTB Need one front seatbelt mounting boot - 1970 Charger

    I was restoring my decades-old seatbelts, they turned out quite nicely with a good scrubbing with Dawn dish soap and hot water, but unfortunately one of the rubber boots covering the mounting tabs was ripped. Anybody have a spare please? Grendel thanks you! :lowdown:

    FOUND Need the black roller wheel beneath accelerator pedal '70 Charger

    While installing new carpets in my '70 Charger, I discovered the little black roller wheel that's supposed to be fitted to the pedal linkage, under the accelerator pedal, was completely missing. My body man must've lost it when he removed the pedal when welding in the new floor pans. Does anyone...

    Identify my knob :)

    Over a decade ago, I was talking to a coworker in his office and noticed this shifter sitting on his table, that I recognized immediately. This guy had a 30-something hot rod so I asked him what the shifter was for, because it was similar to the one in my '70 Charger. He said a friend gave it to...

    1970 Charger carpet install: Where to position rear carpet?

    I have most of my Kilmat deadener installed and will soon be putting in the new carpets. Quick question: As the rear carpet goes in first, where exactly should I position it before the front carpet goes in? A few pics of the correct position would be great, and show the correct amount of overlap...

    1970 Charger seat frame spring question

    I had the seat frames out of my car for restoration and upon reassembly, I noticed only the driver side frame had this thick beefy spring, in addition to the small yellow outer spring for the adjuster lever, and the cable that joins the adjuster levers on both halves. However, the passenger side...

    "The Mopar" build video

    Has anyone else seen this cool video, "The Mopar"? I thought it was fascinating with a unique presentation style; no dumb music, no minutes-long preamble, no narration, no explanation...just demonstration. I also thought it was interesting that he did all the recording himself, no...

    Looking for good picture of back side of Rallye Dash panel

    Does anybody have a '70 Charger Rallye Dash instrument panel they can take a good photo of the back side (or already have a photo), identifying the fastener locations? It would sure make locating the various mounting bolts easier to find if you know whereabouts they are. Thanks.

    Options to fix engine bay to fender seam

    While I was installing new fender splash shields on my '70 Charger, I noticed light shining through to the engine bay from inside the fender where there is a seam between the panels. The car originally had a large bead of black (or painted black) sealant of some sort, that is now decomposing and...

    1970 Charger front sidemarker wire question

    I need to solder on a new 2-wire connector onto the forward light harness for the right front sidemarker. The pigtail on the sidemarker has the correct black wire with yellow trace (exposed male pin) + black wire (female socket), but someone has replaced the sidemarker wires on the right side of...

    The latest annoying trend: notched spoilers

    It seems everywhere you look these days, cars are sporting these notched spoilers: It's annoying to me because the functional reason for a spoiler is downforce, yet you reduce any benefit of it by notching out a chunk. Form before function, I guess. Maybe I'm the only one that hates the...

    Pentastar emblem: best adhesive to use?

    I know this has been covered, but looking for suggestions on this specific application. My '70 Charger already has the 2 holes in the fender to mount this rare gold metal Pentastar emblem (I know it's an older mid-60's emblem not correct for my car, but it's much better quality than the cheap...

    '70 Charger park light housings: Why is everything such a pain?

    I tried to install my restored park light housings with new repro lenses to my front valance. You'd think this should be idiot-simple, 3 bloody screws per side, but do you think I could get them all lined up with the mounting tab on top and bolted in?! Nope! The valance is off the car and...

    WTB Still looking for '70 B-Body antenna bezel; front bumperette rubber inserts

    I'm still on the hunt for a decent, presentable driver-quality antenna bezel ring. I have everything else to reinstall my '70 Charger antenna. Unfortunately the cost plus shipping plus exchange rate makes buying a repro a rather ludicrous $50 - $60 cost. Also looking for one decent front...

    Major issue with site redirects to malware URL

    Has anybody else noticed this? You're browsing the forum, and suddenly your browser redirects to a malicious URL, and you get totally punted from forbbodiesonly.com. This is exceptionally annoying if it happens in the middle of typing up a forum post; you get insta-punted away from...

    Proper prep for rust prevention, new fender splash shields

    I just received a pair of front fender rear inner splash shields that I hope to get replaced this spring. The original one on the passenger side was rusted out. I also have the fastener kit. The splash shields are plain black sheetmetal. What is the recommended prep for installation and rust...

    '70 Charger hood signal lenses not even close to fitting?

    I went to install new repro hood signal lenses I bought many years ago into my housings and found that they weren't even close to fitting properly. Is this huge gap along the upper edge normal? I can't believe repro lenses would be molded THIS badly. I'm checking out others online and the lenses...

    Correct way to install license plate light retainer plate, '70 Charger?

    I'll be restoring and reinstalling my license plate light assembly soon and I'm confused which way to reinstall the rectangular retainer. In the pics, I assume the lens is installed with the bottom silver-painted half downward. In the pics, I think I have the housing and lens mounted the...

    FOUND Looking for a single '70 Charger reverse light glass lens

    It turns out one of mine was cracked. Odd that these lenses were glass when practically every other light lens was plastic. Anybody have just one they can spare?

    FOUND Need some 1970 Charger paint gaskets

    I am unable to get a complete paint gasket kit from RPM in Saskatchewan; the part number has been backordered since last spring. I suspect it's because their vendor was Detroit Muscle Technologies, who evidently won't ship to Canada. My Charger was finished body & paint last spring and I've been...
