I was wondering if there was someone out there who might be able to help me figure out the exact placement of the little gold pentastar emblem on the fender of my 69 Road Runner. I believe it goes on the passenger side fender but if I am wrong on that please correct me. Also, my body guy asked me if fender and door latch bolts (and the latches themselves) are body color, natural metal, or something else. I didn't know the answer to that question. As alway, I appreciate all the help you all give me on this board. Have a blessed day. Clay Fees

Fender bolts - body color Door latches - I believe are gold cadmium Door catches - I believe are silver cadmium 68 Charger R/T 440 auto

I need to know where to put them if anyone has any idea where they would go. I'm thankful for all help.

I cant provide exact location info for a RR fender. Might be able to find a picture on the web and judge where it goes. 68 Charger R/T 440 auto
