WHAT IS THE EXACT LENGTH OF DAYTONA NOSE MOUNTING C-CHANNEL

[daytonalo]

DAVE I KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT , BUT I HAVE VIEWED  MANY  DAYTONAS AND ALL OF THE ONES I VIEWED HAD THOSE RIBS YOUR TALKING ABOUT . I DOUGHT  ALL THOSE CARS HAD A HOOD SWAP !  OBVIOUSLY I KNOW HOW THE DAYTONA NOSE TO FENDER SEALS ATTACH BUT HOW DOES THE S-BIRD NOSE TO FENDER SEALS ATTACH ?  LARRY

They are like I said.I recall them being like a notch cut windshield gasket material .They went on the inside nose edge if I remember. Unlike how the daytonas ones were screw on to the fender mounted .I glued mine in place with weatherstrip adhesive sometimes on the superbird nose.The superbirds as you know used the 70 dodge coronet fender that had no fender attached fillers .As my 70 coronet has the filler material attached the bumper itself.And in the superbirds case its attached to the nose edge .What are you using for the front hood seal as seen here.The piece found on a 70 charger

THE HOOD SEAL IS THE SAME FOR BOTH WING CARS

Im not talking about the one on underside of the hood seal.The daytona has a front hood seal in front of the latchtray same as used on a 70 charger.The superbird doesnt have one in front of its latchtray

 I BOUGHT A SET OF S-BIRD SEALS , AS YOU KNOW THEY HAVE A GROOVE IN THEM , I ASSUME THAT THEY ARE INSTALLED ON NOSE ? I QUICKLY THREW THEM ON THE NOSE AND THEY SEEM TO HANG OUT A LITTLE TOO MUCH , WHAT AM I DOING WRONG ? COULDN'T I BUY A DAYTONA SEAL AND TRIM THE FRONT EDGE OF SEAL AND THEREFORE ALLOWING ME TO BRING NOSE CLOSER TO FENDERS ?  LARRY
