Nice, I'm going to start keeping a cone in my trunk so I can just park anywhere I want.
Having worked at several auto part stores, there usually is a sign saying not to work on vehicles on the premises so I am not too sure if that is the case.

General Q&A / Re: Gas tank padding
Last post by metallicareload99 - November 26, 2025, 11:54:07 AMLike mentioned, OE was some type of tar paper thing. I wasn't worried about factory correct but I wanted something between the tank and trunk floor that shouldn't absorb water. I was able to source rubber sheeting from a local supplier and I've been using that since 2017 with seemingly no issues

Charger Discussion / Re: Temptation!
Last post by lloyd3 - November 26, 2025, 11:04:06 AMPostscript: Uncovered the car and took it to a nearby home for a visit with a fellow I met while hunting last week. We got to chatting in the parking lot of the hotel we were both staying in and he asked about some help with his hunt. Now...get this, this gentleman is 86-years old and he's hunting elk alone (his partners crapped-out on him and he went anyway). We were hunting in the same area so I gave him my cellphone number and told him to call if he needed assistance. As it turns out he didn't need any (he didn't kill).
Long story-short, it turns out we're neighbors of sorts and he's a car guy (has a Cadillac-corvette, look that one up, only made for 2-years), he'd also lost his wife last year(ugh!). Had a nice visit, swapped stories, compared cars, drank some decaf and headed for home. It was dark by the time we were done and I quickly discovered that my highbeams don't work any more, at all. Low beams are fine, but high beams are pitch dark (pretty spooky on our deer-covered roads). Made it home, put the car back under it's cover, added more Stabil (had to buy more gas, of course) and now I'm headed back out hunting again today. Lots to do here next spring, eh?
Tune-ups, and hopefully only new lamps needed (& not switches).

General Q&A / Re: Gas tank padding
Last post by 70 sublime - November 26, 2025, 07:48:36 AMI was stuck one time to put something between the gas tank and trunk floor and ended up using a couple pieces of tar paper ( the stuff you put on the roof of your house before shingles go on )
Not sure on the hood pad idea if it would hold water if it got wet

General Q&A / Gas tank padding
Last post by doctor4766 - November 26, 2025, 06:44:50 AMSo I have removed the fuel tank from my 70 RT to clean it out and replace the sock on the end of the sender/pickup.
I found that there was no padding on top of the tank to isolate it from the trunk floor.
I remember there being one on my old 69 Charger but I can't recall what it was made of.
I have limited time before I need to reinstall the tank so I can't order a replacement from any of the vendors your side of the pond.
Any suggestions on what might be a suitable material to make one out of?
I have a hood insulation pad from the old 69 that's big enough. I wonder if that would be ok to cut up and use.
Any thoughts?
