Fuel tank mounting holes missing

[Dave532]

My 69 Charger had the trunk and floors replaced. When I went to install the fuel tank I realized there are no holes in the floor for the forward J bolts to hang from. Is this expected with new trunks pans?
If so, does anyone have any location measurements so I can add my own holes?

Thanks,

I take it the welded brackets are not there for the J bolts? If so you will have to purchase them and weld them on....

No, I don't see any brackets for the J bolts to hang from if that is what you mean.
The closest bracket would be for the factory upper shock mounts but that wouldn't work or course.

If anyone has a picture of what should be in this location I would be most appreciative.

I did not disassemble this car so I have run into a couple surprises like this.

Have you contacted the dummy that did all that work on your dime X a gizzion??

The shop that performed the work closed down one year after the body work was complete due to the fact one of the owners developed a brain tumor.
I can reach him but there is really no recourse at this point.

I was able to find what I needed from this thread:
