Hi Sublime,

The headlight brackets were standard 68 Coronet buckets that are welded into the fenders.
Creative were supplied with them to which they made their own bracketry to fit them to the Charger grille.

Did they leave all the Charger buckets in place and just mount these on top ?

Hi Troy.
Sorry to steal your lovely pictures!
They were very helpful when I restored my C500 grille and headlight pods.
If you look closely at the right hand pod outer edge, there are TWO small holes that mount to the inner fender flare.
I believe that Dayclona makes the EIGHT mounting brackets for the centre section.
If you down from above, the 68 coronet grille follows the shape of the top plate fairly closely too.
It sticks out approx ONE INCH to tuch in under the hood.

You need to knock-up some vertical bars too!

Thank's Stu!  I wanted to get much more done but kept running into problems :brickwall: Bagged and tagged all the bolts but I couldnt find the Motor mount bolts and had to run to the hardware store.  Then we learned The old engine had a 10 inch flex plate and my new torgue converter needed a 11 inch plate.  No parts stores had it but a Mopar friend about 40 miles from me had one he not only donated to the cause but drove and met me half way to deliver  :cheers:  We got the engine and trans installed, gas tank painted, rust inhibitor sprayed on all fresh welds and new sheet metal, cleaned and painted the fan shroud, and loaded and moved the old 440 back to my shop.  Still much to do.  Install radiator, starter, trans cooling lines, carb, and plug in all electric.  She is coming along and I should have her back on the road in the spring :2thumbs:
