You nailed it Paul. Those are the two areas I was referring to. They are of course very old so it is hard to tell exactly what they were made of. The lower one is very much form fitted to the channel in the welded on plate. It is missing about a one inch chunk, but what remains is still quite pliable. More like old door/ window rubber seal. I will try doing a bit more research and I guess if I can’t find exactly what it is I’ll have to improvise and use something out of a tube. Thank you so much for your time and input, it is very much appreciated! Oh, and I’ll warn you ahead of time you’ll probably hear from me again as I muddle my way through this project!!
Good luck, Randy! I look forward to hearing back from you in the future. If you want more reference photos, please just let me know, and I'll post them to Flickr. I'm in the middle of reupholstering my front seats, so that will be the next video. Then I'll focus on the center console and shifter linkage...
Thank you, Randy. I just noticed another comment from you that I missed 8 months ago. I'll go check my car for the parts you described. Did you find any of them in the meantime?
I have just completed watching all 8 of your 1966 charger videos. Very nicely done Paul! Please continue to post as you complete the work on your car. I have a 1967 charger that I have been working on getting rust free for a couple of years. I had been dreading the day I was going to be putting it back together because it has been so long. Your videos are going to make it so much easier. And am actually looking forward to it now. Thank You!
Thank you! I really appreciate your positive feedback. It motivates me to keep going. Speaking of rust repair, I'm working on the next video, which includes a metal patch to repair some rust on my car's floor. Good luck with your build!
Hi Paul, Thanks for getting back to me. I did find the part you listed, but it is not the one. At the top of the filler tube assembly there are four bolts that fasten the housing to the quarter panel inside the fuel door. This unit had a large rectangular grommet/gasket where it contacts the inside of the quarter. You probably would have trouble seeing it without climbing in the trunk with a flashlight. The other gasket/grommet I am referring to is at the point the oval metal filler tube passes through the trunk extension. There is a metal plate welded to the trunk extension that the tube passes through. There is a gasket/ grommet between the welded on plate and the trunk extension. That might be very hard to see from under the car… not sure. I do have pics, not sure how to attach them though. Sorry, not the most computer savvy guy! Randy
Im putting together a 1966 charger thst a previous owner disassembled, do you have any info on what screws hold the front of the cargo shelf down. Thank also for the videos they have come in handy a coiple times.
I took a look last night. They're Phillips pan head sheet metal screws. Do you need more detail than that? I could pull one out to get a better look at it.
Hey Paul, and happy new year! I did keep searching and Todd from Todd’s Restorations wrote back saying the factory used a seam sealer in those locations and not gaskets. So, when I re-install those parts that is what I will do. Thanks for checking back. By the way, did you ever put the part two video of your front seats out. I’ve checked periodically, but haven’t found it?
Ah yes, seam sealer makes sense based on your earlier description. That's a relief, eh? 😅 I'm just about to finish up those front seats. It took several months for the manufacturer to produce another pair of seat back covers to replace the first pair they sent me. I had to send them one of my original seat covers so that they could reverse-engineer it and make a correctly fitting, new set. I have yet to install them, but it shouldn't take long. Then comes the video editing...
Hello Paul, I have recently finally been able to get back to work on my 67 Charger project. I have watched everything you post and definitely enjoy all the great tips. I am now pretty much done with installing the lower quarters, trunk pan and trunk extensions. I am hoping that you might be able to help me with some information. I am looking to replace the gaskets where the fuel filler assembly passes through the trunk extension and also bolts to the quarter panel at the fuel door. I am having no luck so far finding them. Have you ever replaced them? If so, can I ask where you found them? Thank you again for your great videos. Take care and thank you for your time.
Wow, you’ve done a lot of work! No, I haven’t worked on the fuel filler housing. Regarding the gasket at the quarter panel end, is this what you’re looking for?: www.classicindustries.com/product/1966/dodge/charger/parts/mb16954.html The other gasket you mentioned, is it visible from inside the trunk or from underneath the car? I looked inside my trunk and didn’t see anything gasket-like. I didn’t think to crawl under the car at the time. I’ll take another look if you point me closer to it. Thanks
@@PaulBroenen Hello Paul, so I just did some research and see I am not able to attach photos to a comment. Hopefully my description is enough for you to understand where the gaskets/grommets are located. I will add that the plate that is welded to the trunk extension is also attached to the fuel filler tube with a single screw that is easily visible inside the trunk. Thank you
@@user-xb4pk6zp7i Hey, Randy. No sweat. You did a great job of explaining what you were looking for. From what I can see, the factory used some kind of adhesive on all those contact points. I took a few photos today and uploaded them to Flickr. I can add more if you need them: flic.kr/s/aHBqjBkGp9
@@PaulBroenen Thanks for the info. I took my interior apart about a year ago to replace the torsion bar anchor and the complete floor pan and at the time I thought, "I'll remember this". Right!! Thanks again.

Do the side panels go in first?
Yes. Good call-out. 👍

@@chrishanley2372 Yep, the older I get, the more I need a video record of everything I take apart! 🤓
What kind of carpet did you use?
I bought an ACC Carpet Kit from OC Auto Carpets: www.ocautocarpets.com/product/4590/1966-dodge-charger-auto-complete/
