    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?

    You would think they'd make the correct Positive Battery cable for 1966 Dodge Chargers and Coronets. But they don't. The leads at the battery should be red and black (not red and red), and the leads at the starter relay should be black and brown (not black and red). And, the repro cables...

    Engine Compartment Details

    Restoring a 1966 Charger body and interior is hard enough. Getting engine compartment details can also be challenging. The engine compartment paint on this car is original and just touched up where needed. Note: the brown primer area behind the hood spring -- that's original -- and I've seen...

    1966 Charger Carpet Removal

    I saved all the critical pieces of carpet during disassembly for templates -- like saving and bagging and tagging bolts/screws etc. The most difficult pieces are the carpets that glue to the rear passenger side panels. The tips of them go under the sill plate. Dodge also sewed Velcro into the...

    Any stickers on the door jams?

    Did the 66 Charger have a tire pressure label on the door jam? Were there any other labels on the door jams? If so, could someone provide a picture of an original for placement and a link to an original looking label? My goal is that nothing will be missing on my car.

    Reproduction Trunk Cardboard Panels

    Cardboard Trunk Inserts: Tired of reproduction parts that aren't made right or don't fit? The driver's side cardboard trunk insert is one of those panels that's made wrong (totally wrong). Note: none of them have the correct surface finish. I ended up having to make my own driver's side panel.

    Hood Insulation Part Numbers

    My original hood insulation pad has (I believe) part numbers stenciled across it. I kept it for years now hoping one day to make a stencil and paint it on a new pad. I can read all of it except the extreme left side. Does anyone have additional pictures to show what's missing?

    66 / 67 Charger rear defrosters -- rear speakers -- and electric antenna.

    Claims of 66 / 67 Charger rear defrosters -- rear speakers -- and electric antenna from the factory. But nobody can produce a picture or manual figure (for 66/67 Charger) that shows any of them. Did they exist? Or do people just want them to exist?

    66 Charger Stainless Trim -- Tired of Polishing?

    How much trim does a car have? My gosh! I stripped down my 66 Charger two years ago to get it painted and I'm still finding stainless trim to polish.

    Silly Question

    I have a 1966 Charger. The car has been taken apart so long I forget how the door and trunk locks are positioned. Do the keys go in right side up or upside down. My ignition key goes in upside down (the teeth up).

    I have an all Citron Gold 66 Charger. The interior has multiple shades of green.
