Getting back on the road to assembling my 68 charger. I the process of doing the massive amount of metal work, it appears the front windshield clip holes have been filled/painted over. Other than a few small holes near the cowl, I have no picture reference for how many there should be and where they go.

It looks like there are 2 different sized clips used on the front - longer ones (which I assume go on the bottom) and shorter ones (I assume for the sides and top).

Can someone do a count for me and take a picture of the spacing/placement of the clips? Thanks!!

That's me!

It worked great. Thanks so much. I was very dissolusioned over the last several months about the Charger. There was SO much metal damage and SO much money required that I really put the whole project on hold and had to walk away. Once I started the process of trying to fix what was there it was too far gone to be able to put back together and try to re-sell. This car is going to cost me 2x what it would have cost to buy a nice restored car, and I was tired of having it suck my funds away.

Now that I've spent some time not thinking about it, I'm excited to get started again. Your part was a big help and I really appreciate it!

Here ya go. Just in the nick of time. I hoping to get the windshield & back glass installed next week in my '69, so I grabbed the clip shots for you.

I'll be taking some in-process photos of the windshield & back glass installation, & I'll post them as well.

Anyway, I've got 10 clips along the bottom, 10 clips along the top, & 3 up each side. The clips along the bottom are different than the top & sides.
Here are the top & bottom shots.
