orientation of inner quarter to floor braces
I’m trying to jig up those little inner quarter panel to floor stamped brackets. I appears that on my 71 Challenger, those brackets were originally angled differently on right and left sides. I’ve found several instances of things being misaligned from the factory (the entire package tray, webbing is about 2 degrees off level as from the factory).I guess if they don’t interfere with the rear seats, etc., there should be no problem, just eyeball them and weld?

Trunk lid to quarter gap. 71 Challenger
I’m about to cinch up the tail panel to quarters/ trunk floor. I’d like to know the proper gap on the sides of trunk lid to quarter panel area. (And to deck filler) Thanks
1971 Challenger tail light bezel stud delete?
I have 2 sets of tail light bezels for my 71. Identical part nos.. Lower outer stud not used on one set. 71 tail light panel has no hole for the lower/outer stud. Is this a year thing?

E Body front leaf spring perch/eye bolt diameter differences?
I bought a set of used leaf springs for my 71 Challenger. They use apparently, a 9/16th” front eye bolt, but my old springs are 5/8th”. I got one loose front perch from him also and it is 9/16th”. Anyone know if there were any year variances? He is sure they were removed from a e body parts car. I can make them work either way but I’d still like to know. Thanks

ID on Challenger tail light panel
Corey in KC here again. Could anyone tell me where to find the part number on the tail panel. My car is a 71, but I suspect the tail light panel that came with it (used) isn’t for a 71, because the tail light bezels don’t fit, and it doesn’t quite line up with my new quarters. I know, sounds like a simple problem, but this is my first Challenger project, and assumptions are easy to make. It came with the car. Anyway, the 71 tail light bezels (correct 71 part numbers) don’t fit the tail panel…
