Sorry, I do not. Two screws go into the rear frame rail. The front one bolts to the rear cross member piece and the rear attaches to the brackets using nuts. Once you get the two brackets installed and hold the shield up in place, you will see where the holes are. Maybe someone else has a photo...

My 71 Challenger trunk pan photos. Left side and then right side of brackets. Terry W.

It's been a few months since I was able to do some work on the car. Life sometimes throws things at you that you have to spend time fixing. I ended up pulling the interior out of the 71 convertible, sanding and painting the front floor pans after finding some surface rust. I decided as long as I...

I'd tell everyone my 408 was a 318 4bbl. :) Terry W.

See, parts you need are being listed by the owners on here. Just let them know whether you need a 2 speed or a variable speed wiper motor now and they can set you up. Terry W.

If no one here has the covers for sale, there's several on Ebay for sale right now.

https://www.classicindustries.com/shop/1971/dodge/challenger/parts/?q=MD4002 New ones for console are available. Used ones are cheaper but usually not as nice. If you have the door panel inserts and just need the woodgrain see this: ME1041 - 1970-74 Dodge Challenger; Door Panel Woodgrain Insert...

Be aware the 73 Challenger had a 2 speed wiper motor as well as a variable speed wiper motor available. You probably want to go with what you have for linkage. The insets and console plate are available as reproductions as far as I know. T Walker

And yes, my floorboards have a lot of black paint from the factory down the sides and under the rear seat back and sides to hide gaps in seats, etc. I'll share a couple of photos if I can find them. BTW. The old carpet I removed is still in very good shape. I think I'm going to use it in the 72...

I agree wholeheartedly with your idea to lay the carpet out a long time in advance of the installation. On my mass-backed carpet in the Charger, I laid it on the floorboard of the car for at least 6 months before installing any of the interior. It made a world of difference compared to the one...

I think I bought those goofy star mats in the early 70s to keep the rain/snow moisture from getting to the floor pans. It worked. I probably bought them at Sears or KMart for $5 for the set. I was a poor E-5 in the military then with a car payment of $95/month on the car. Besides, we didn't have...

I finished the carpet install today. I have to share a photo. The only pieces I haven't changed out were the old sill plates I used for fitting. I'm trying to let the carpet settle a little more and then I'll install the excellent sill plates. If I were to rate this OER carpet, I would say it...

I don't recall ever seeing the type of retractor you have in an E-body. I agree it should in a a plastic housing under the carpet. Terry W.

Since I already have the interior back together in the 71, I looked at the dimmer switch location in the 72. I hope this helps. Terry W.

My car when I bought it in 1972 did not have a grommet. I hope this helps others with doing their own carpet. I'm slower now and work it in increments in between rest times.:thumbsup: Terry W.
