Title: trunk hinge spacing
Post by: truckinman466 on May 06, 2017, 01:15:23 PM
73 Challenger. Can anyone give me some measurements as to where to place the trunk hinges. My filler panel was completely gone and Im not sure how far apart they go. I didn't take any measurements when I removed the wheel wells(dumb) So I'm flying blind.

Do you want the numbers from the underside of the dutchman (filler panel) the distance for the brackets on each wheel well?

  Yes, that would be a big help. I should be able to figure it out from there. Wish I had more to work with but this area was completly rusted away

@truckinman466 (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/truckinman466_334)   the lighting wasn't good, but hope these help.  I took close ups of where I was starting so you could see exactly how I measured.
