I have these 2 parts which I have been trying to identify to no avail. They are aluminum have recessed holes for screws to attach to something. No part numbers and the shape makes me think they fit between 2 other parts. One has a pretty good amount of wear and it looks like it is all in one direction. the other has random marks. Both can be cleaned and polished, but what the heck are they for? Anyone???? I got the car in pieces and so far this has been the only mystery parts. Thanks all. 7266816-P1010008.JPG (180 downloads) 68 AMX mopars red headed stepchild 69 Dart GT Convertible 340 4 speed 71 Challenger - looks like the avatar!

Hmmm maybe they are from a parts car that was used for this Dart somewhere down the line (before me). They are pretty thin for the amount abuse they look like they have taken. I was going to guess that whatever car they were in it was down by the feet because of the wear marks. 68 AMX mopars red headed stepchild 69 Dart GT Convertible 340 4 speed 71 Challenger - looks like the avatar!

I think that is what it is . I did just see a picture of an A body in the race section with a similar part that was holding the rear side panel , but now that I think of it the car had no back seat and the owner may have improvised it's location to hold the panel.

I have similar ones in my Demon and Barracuda behind the rear side panels. Those particular ones would be from a 4 door -- the tabs on each end go behind the inner portion of the front and rear sill plates.
