1969 Daytona issues

[ihategm]

Are the rear window reveal moulding clips the same as a standard charger? I tried installing the mouldings, however, the mouldings sit about 1/4" below the body.
Also, what is the easiest way to install the nose cone on the car?

Hi GM hater.

I believe there are two different height rear molding clips for the C500-Daytona window trims.

Assemble the nose cone on a bench and get three friends to help you put it on as a complete assembly.

I think the clips are the same as the standard '69 Charger, although if I remember correctly there are two different lengths as you go around the window.

Truth be told, I used the clips that were already installed in my car from the original Charger glass that was removed at Creative...they were nice enough to leave the clips!

As for nose install, I used 7 friends:  2 on the ground, 2 on top, one on each side, and 2 go-fors!
It was already assembled, then slid it in while aligning the brackets that go to the bumper mounts on the sides of the frame rails, then get the latch tray aligned and bolted in

I put mine on by myself, assembled the complete nose cone minus the grille put a little padded rolling seat from harbor freight under nose and guided it in nice and slow, once latch tray was lined up I started all the bolts so they were just snug then went under car to run bolts through frame extensions into frame.
After that the rest is easy. I bought one of Janeks heavy duty nose kits that he makes to fit to your car.
Was very easy to assemble and very heavy. Did have to have my wife help me with the fender seals but they wee already installed just needed pushed in while lining it all up.
