 I have no idea if the clip is there or not? I took it apart almost 5 years ago. Are you saying it should've been there during the underside of the car being finished? If it should've been in place Ill have to dig it up and see what I can do about getting it installed and then blending it in. I had to do that with the driver side exhaust hanger bracket.

Im sure its not going to be the last forgotten item/part/process during the coming months.

Somebody the has the detailed knowledge of birds should confirm your car needs one.  68 and 69 chargers have them and the front floor section from AMD B-body cars come with them.  The go on with either with a tiny spot weld (probaboly easy to break and fall off) or a little screw.  I think it's there to keep the cable off of the exhaust.

Pic of the part attached.

I cant find the clip anywhere, does anyone know where to locate one?

I attached a couple of pics from the paint booth because Im so excited, like a nervous little kid since they told me they were squirting color last Thursday. Theyre like night and day!

With that missing clip you find the speedometer cable melted on top of exhaust pipe.Seen it happen more than once  What did your old speedometer cable look like

Here is where it goes........... Factory spot welded them on.

Thanks for the pic of the speedo clip!

the shop sent me a pic of the first part installed on their end. Im having them do some of the reassembly but not too much since that's the pay-off for me for waiting so long.
everything is painted/cut + polished except the nose and wing. Once the doors-fenders-hood-deck lid are installed Im having them install everything on the inner side of the firewall then its just the vinyl top and glass for them.

Today Im dis-assembling the dash assembly because I didn't make certain there was good clean metal contact for the gauge cluster so thered be no ground issues.

Very nice!

[green69rt]

Now that is excellent!!

[projectanimal]

Great color!!   Excellent work, it's going to be beautiful when done! 

[1970Moparmann]

It looks awesome!  Congrats again!

[Lighthorseman]

Wow, is that ever going to be nice when it's finished!   

[hemi68charger]

Awesome...

They are going to paint the nose with the same paint as that used on the car? Is that your car's nose in the fore-ground?

[WINGIN IT]

Ahhh, nothing like some fresh lime to brighten your day and mood 

[FJ5WING]

Thanks everyone!
yesterday was a GREAT day getting to see my car starting to look like a car again.

Troy, Im going with the same paint just getting done in stages as the booth isn't large enough to do everything. the painter is a good one and I fully trust him!  Yep, that's my nose in the foreground.

They'll also be installing the headliner and vinyl top including all the glass and stainless. I don't want any part of playing around with that rear window trim. the installer is more anal than me which I always thought was tough to beat until I found DodgeCharger.com!

i have the clip but did not know were it went. i found it and i am going put it on. should i weld or screw to the floor.

[FJ5WING]

I wouldn't use a screw since itll be pointy end into the footwell.

[billssuperbird]

Thanks
