1970 Challenger SE - Massive restoration

[RUNCHARGER]

The car looks fantastic. The frustration of waiting for parts will be worth it in the end.

The overhead console goes over it.

Yea I need to find one of those myself lol.

So, i'm after a set of Interior roof rail trim for the challenger.

Finally, yearone sent part of my orders placed last year so we will start having some more progress soon.

[BAM]

A much awaited surprise from Yearone... My dashboard is here (while they say they will send it over in 2 weeks )

I didn't have a look at it yet, as i'm waiting for the wiring harnesses to clear customs and have everything i need. Overall, good day here 

[BAM]

Finally, we have a complete set of wire harnesses, dashboard (i still didn't look at it), new headlight bezels, new headlights + retaining rings + buckets, door handles, seat belts, window crank handles, all exterior trim, package tray, Rechromed bumpers, all the exterior lights, the overhead console and rear window trim will go for upholstery next week.

Brakes complete, new Driveshaft welded, balanced and installed, Magnaflow exhaust is in, other small bits and pieces still on order. We are pushing hard to finish the car before 1st of December where is the delivery of the new house too 

[BAM]

Rear end is done! Front end still needs the headlights and probably a new grille if i can find one in stock for a decent price.

[RUNCHARGER]

Your car is looking outstanding! Great job considering the extra challenges you've been faced with.

I was trying to find some instructions on how to install the headlight but it seems impossible to find. Can someone help me with some guidance on how to install those?

[anlauto]

The first step is sorting out the headlight buckets, all four are different and should be marked....LH HI, LH HI/LO, RH HI, RH HI/LO....

[BAM]

Hi @anlauto and thanks for the heads up. So:

LH HI - Driver side out
LH HI/LO - driver side in
RH HI - passenger side out
RH HI/LO - passenger side in

Did i get that correctly? I think i sound a bit stupid right now.

On another note, I received the A/C system, remaining brake lines, whole wiring harness and freshly chromed bumpers. It starts getting back to being a nice car. Legendary is sending my whole interior next week so...straight line from here 

[anlauto]

NO, the HI beam headlights go on the insides and the HI/LO lights go on the outside with RH being the passenger side

[BAM]

@anlauto or someone else. Could you please share a photo of the buckets installed? I'm trying to figure where the small spring needs to go

[anlauto]

As with many reproduction parts, they are not always 100% perfect....I found with the last set of these I installed, I had to drill the small little hole where the spring attaches. Pretty much right where it needs to go. As you are, just hold the bucket in place and mark where the spring is.

[BAM]

So finally, after 10 months waiting, i received the door panels, seat covers, seat backs from legendary. At the first glance, the door panels are not the best possible quality but no big issues either.

Will post some photos when everything gets installed

Looking forward to see this car finished, it's been an incredible journey
