    Headlight pod not locking

    Enjoyed this post and liked the analysis and responses. But, for future reference, the housings holding the headlights are not called "pods", they are called buckets --- Headlight Buckets. For info only.

    Clips for front valance above bumper

    I noticed the hood release cable -- so I suspect you have a 1966 Charger. The 67 didn't have one. Noting that, the hood release cable should not be in the clip above the brake master cylinder. If you're restoring it to look original, I think that's a 1967 windshield washer reservoir.

    66 charger rear Carpet Question

    I took the original parts to the SEM paint mixer. We took areas that saw little or no sunlight and mixed the paint accordingly. It looks great.

    Headlight Wiring Harness Routing 1966 Charger

    The wiring harness looks about right. There are small square clips with a stud and an alignment tit. The stud inserts from the top and a nut is screwed on from the bottom. I found this picture showing the top of the square topped stud.

    Headlight Wiring Harness Routing 1966 Charger

    See the black splash shield that runs across the entire lower front? The wiring harness attaches to that black shield. The harness connects to a connector just in front of the battery then through the radiator frame.

    66 charger rear Carpet Question

    Yes -- similar situation with the P4Y Citron Gold interior. Sail panels, door and side panels, kick panels, armrests, etc... all totally different or slightly different colors. I think there were six or seven different colors. I did find a vinyl paint company (SEM) here locally that could color...

    66 charger rear Carpet Question

    The vinyl color of the ACC carpet was way off on mine too. I ended up buying vinyl material from Legendary -- the same vinyl they use to make the seat covers (Citron Gold). We removed the ACC vinyl and sewed in the Legendary vinyl. I got a little **** trying to keep it as original as possible...

    1966 Charger Carpet Details

    I carefully removed the old carpet and saved it as templates to install the new ACC carpet. The ACC carpet is good, but quite a few details or the originals are missing. I've got many photos of the originals. Here are some detail photos for future. Notice how many pieces have been sewn -- The...

    66 charger rear Carpet Question

    I posted that picture. I used all the original carpets as templates -- the new ACC carpet needed a lot of trimming / modifying to match the original.

    Front inner wheel well paint scheme

    This car was very original. I hand painted the original black undercoating and cleaned the original greenish paint. Just posting this as a decent guide for restorations.

    Charger Headliner

    If I'm not mistaken, the headliners (and the trunk divider) were flocked vs. paint. That's how they achieved that short fuzzy look. Spray headliner with glue, select the correct color flocking, liberally sprinkle the flocking on the glue, let dry, shake excess flocking off.

    66 Charger Interior Installation Step by Step

    As I installed the interior of my 66 Charger, I wrote down step by step instructions. Hope this helps. Installing the interior? Wondering what the sequence is? Tips? I wrote the sequence down as I put the rear of the interior together. I think it's fairly accurate (from memory). It's long --...

    Repro Positive Battery Cable is so incorrect -- will they ever make one right?

    That's for a Hemi car. You can tell by how short the black lead is.

    Weather Stripping 66 Charger

    It's all fairly easy. Pick one to install and ask for advice if you need it.

    Repro Positive Battery Cable is so incorrect -- will they ever make one right?

    That won't fix the length issue. You'd have to cut the ends, shorten the length, find new terminals and crimp / solder connections.

    Engine Compartment Details

    You've got that right. And -- the repros are too long.
