I know right  My painter Rob Kientzle said should be done by Super bowel Sunday.  That will be one year from the time I dropped it off.  That's great considering he had 2 heart attacks, 2 deaths in the family, his dad had major surgery and his dog died.  not to mention the fact that he has done some great work!

Did the 69 Charger have retractable lap belts?

Did the 69 Charger have retractable lap belts?

Yes, it did (on the outboard side).


Great to see the progress, Allen!

Thanks Geno,  Does anyone have a pic on how the gas pedal is installed.  The car did not have one, I bought a new one and don't see how it can be installed

Allen,
there are two holes in the floor pan right under the accelerator pivot attached to the firewall.... It is obvious. I am assuming that the holes were drilled in the new pans?

You can see the two holes in this image from my Superbird..  Usually you will need to cut a section out of the carpet foot pad in order for the pedal to fit properly. There is a Styrofoam gasket between the pedal and floor pan. You can see the picture I got off the internet, the position of the pedal base relative to the foot pad on the carpet.... The proper retaining nuts do have a captive star-lockwasher.

1. Get the carpet in..
2. find and stick an all or something through the carpet pad from underneath to mark your hole positions from inside ( you should see two holes in the footpad ). Then, sort of measure the dimensions of the pedal base.. It is the part of the pedal base that sticks down. The top of the pedal base covers the hole and overlaps the foot pad. It should and will be snug. Don't forget the pedal base gasket.
3. then attach the two nuts from underneath and voila, done.......

Thanks, the holes are not drilled in the new pan and that part of the old pan was missing.  The picture will help.

And his dog died??? Wow poor guy...Being serious for a moment, this guy has been through a lot! If he survived two heart attacks, he has someone watching over him! If we could all be so lucky!

true!

How does the pedal connect to the rod?

How does the pedal connect to the rod?

Allen.. The pedal just leans on it.. It is not physically connected.. It is just physically touching........ That is why the throttle mechanism attached to the firewall has a roller on the end of the rod. Another image "googled". Here, you can see the other white Styrofoam gasket that goes behind the throttle pedal assemble attached to the firewall.




Also, these are the types of nuts used underneath..  this image is of a complete kit. I'm just posting this to show you the type of nut with the captive star lock-washer

Thanks that makes sinse.
