Hi everyone. I am working on my 1st e body project. I have two A body barracudas fb and vert both 340s and started building my daughter a 74 challenger. Currently replacing all sheetmetal except for doors, roof and front frame. Currently struggling to find metal strips that hold wire harness in place in trunk. These seem to be left out in all the restore projects I have watched. I am going to have a ton of questions as I start putting her back together so all help is appreciated. E body is completely different than A body. Will be a 72 clone with 340 when done. Took my daughter to Carlisle and she picked out options and colors. I bought some lower quarters from rmd before I realized I needed full and ended up with one full left side quarter if anyone is in KS mo area and needing some also have original front fenders and front bucket seats as I bought a complete 72 interior.

Welcome to the site !
the wire hold downs can be cut from sheet metal tack welded into place , you can coat them in plastic dip before welding them .

Thanks. The ones underneath the left trunk gutter appear to have a molded loop built in.
