No Build sheet, no fender tag...
Seat belt retractors on top of the carpet. No retractor covers.
Not correct belts either.
Bought a pair of retractor covers off E-Bay.

Need to get a couple Belt guides.

Good eye... Yes he did...

Sweet Challenger. Good luck getting it Squared away.

Console is much nicer with the satin clear

...I was worried there for a minute

Ashtray Receptacle
Before, Blasted and Painted with SEM Trim Coat. Not sure if that is the right finish but looks good to me.

Found Seat Belt Guides on E-Bay.

Original screws are machine thread, I think 8-32 countersunk head... But they all seem to have wood screws these days...

Yup, the retractors have threaded holes. Have to remove them to put them under the carpet.
I'll take one of them to Fastenal to get correct thread screws if I don't have any that work.
I have accumulated a pretty good assortment of screws.

Yeah, I love the "Kits" with all the new screws.... Seems like every location where Chrysler put a machine screw the reproduction suppliers put a sheet metal screw...

Did you catch the tip about using a syringe? Check the You tube link below...

Oh man: I am going through this at work right now. A guy is restoring a 67 Hemi GTX and thinks he can do it out of a catalogue (he's restored a few chebbies). I've spent a lot of time on the phone with him explaining about fasteners, repro parts etc. I guess I shouldn't care but I hate to see a rare Mopar get hardware store stuff thrown at it. I am lucky I have tons of old fasteners I can clean up and use.

Nice job refurbishing those interior pieces in the go mango color. You don't see many Challengers with the horn ring! Looks cool with it.
