Attached are a few current pictures that Greg sent to me... Looks like some wiring retainers are missing, and those present are some sort of universal part.  BTW, all of this is the handiwork of the old bodyshop... not Greg's!

Also, does anyone know of a source for repros of the various wiring retaining straps...?... see the last picture below.

Edit - CORRECTION on 12/3/2009 @ 5:10 PM CST... I have been told the universal appearing retainers on the driver's side trunk floor extension were on it when it was recieved from AMD... I will look into it and update again...

Anyone know of a source?...  Or if used ones are the only option... Also, did I find all of the locations that the taillight wiring harness is secured in the trunk/taillight panel area? Huh  shruggy

Thanks Brian,  I will give Jamie a call.  Their online catalog appears to have one of the retainers...

So do I Quintin...  yesnod

I spoke with Jamie yesterday, and he had a look at the pictures that I posted on the wiring retainers... Jamie will see what he has for the trunk area routing.

Also, I received a new batch of pictures this morning showing preparation for the re-install of the rear window plug... the C500 should be going aero again soon.  I post more pictures as time permits...

Brian - I will post the pictures as soon as I can, but I had to work late yesterday... maybe tonight.  Or, if you like, I could forward the full size pictures via email.

Also, I have a lot of pictures from the dis-assembly of the C500... I think I posted a few many pages ago in this thread.  I can send full size of those as well... but I hope you have high-speed internet access!

Let me know what you need...  popcrn

I received 8 pictures so far showing the preparation to re-install the rear window plug.  First four show the cleanup around the roof opening and plug edges to provide for proper weld and lead adhesion.

The other four show a test fitting of the plug.  On the last picture the alignment of the weld nubs on the lower surface of the plug and upper surface of the dutchman panel can be seen...

Blue Thunder's W23 "Recall" wheels are being shipped to me today... should arrive late next week.   cheers

Below is a picture from MagnumCharger's thread on the Hemi C500 in Canada... it has the W23 "Recall" wheels on it.   drool5

Can someone "photoshop" out the Hemi door badge & make it B5 Blue with a black C500 stripe...  I need a boost to keep shoveling money into it...  Tongue  eek  lol

Neat car, but it has the wheels without trim rings.  At this rate all the C500s will end up with the W23 wheels even though most (if not all) were built AFTER the recall date...   scratchchin
