You might want to pay Troy to burn you some disks of the couple thousand pictures he has of disassembling, restoring, and reassembling that car. The Barry Washington yellow T/A CD's are very helpfull too, but they don't show the car being taken apart and the bottom was fogged with paint once. 7077388-1_06TroyTA04.JPG (90 downloads) Last edited by autoxcuda; 02/18/12 03:58 AM.

I do have Barrys yellow T/A cd, and is a great help most of the time, but it did not have detailed pics of the rear valance. So, another question is, what are the holes along the top for, and the two brackets behind the license plate area, how are they fastened? are the studs and nuts too?

They were small and held just the top of the valance. My 1970 Challenger T/A had those but my friends 1970 Challenger T/A did not. It held the valance by those additional holes along the top. Maybe someone can post a picture of them since I don't have a picture and I don't have the car anymore.

Sounds like you may have a legit rear valance. I went threw getting these differentiated myself. Here's the old thread with some pics that may help clarifying for you. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...ID=#Post5971824

NOS and what was installed on the the assembly line are often two different things. Also NOS parts can change over the years they were produced for retail parts supply.

It, however, does not show correct hardware. cheers, eric eric.middleton1@gmail.com 1970 Challenger R/T U-Code (Restoration in process!)
