    Thanks Tannersg1. I need to lock it down so that it does not rattle at high speeds.

    I'm putting one on mine right now. The base of the Charger/Cuda cap isn't parallel to the top, it's about .200" higher on one side, and it's not a vented cap, if that's what you need.

    that rear panel needs a lot of work the last owner made hamburger of it trying to get the filler out of the tank to change it. By setting it side ways the tilt is from top to bottom not as noticable and the cap can't try to close on you while filling

    Still driving around and breaking in the rear end. Interestingly enough, the car feels more stable as I accelerate in a straight line. 3.80 gears with an Auburn LSD are gonna be fun stoplight to stoplight once they lap in.
