Now that I'm putting things back together, I'm finding I misplaced a couple screws and bolts and have forgotten where a few others go. Can anyone help with where this one goes? Any Ideas?

It looks like they may be part of the fender but I just can't quite figure out where. They seem simillar to the ones shown in the fender bolt kits.

Three of those per side on your standard E Body. Two at the very bottom of the heel of the fender connecting it to the rocker, one more inside the rear of the fender where it bolts to the elbow bracket on the upper cowl.

I say Standard E Body, because the AAR/TAs were known to have three more along the top of the fender on each side, however the washer size is smaller to match the regular fender bolt.
EDIT: Apparently 73-74 E Bodies also used these to secure the fenders along the top similar to AAR/TAs :alan2cents:

Can't really tell what size washer is in your picture  :dunno:

They started putting three on top of each fender in the later years as well.  My 73 Challenger uses them on top.

Interesting, my '73 had all bolts except for one on each side closest to the cowl.

My 74 also has the 3 on top of fenders like yours

Awesome  :bradsthumb: that helps tone. Seems a little weird to have the stud stick out like that, but it works for me.
