the front of the floor pan, in your pic the bracket is welded to the back floor pan. no sign of anything being welded to my rear pan. these are the line guides that came with the amd package thinking the smaller one will not be used.

The bottom clip in your pic installs to the front floor pan but it's for the speedometer cable. I think this is from the same car.

Left side of Challenger I used my IPhone measuring photo option very accurate I used it to be sure my frame was true! It says 76” on the printout posted but mine on all four Corners are 75 inches seems fine I don’t know why the 1 inch from the printout but they are all 75 good enough for me being Equal! I think one could question tbe posted Frame printout?

I am going to make this car Bad Ass Challenger! Spend a lot of money “Speed is Greed” Make what I want! The body Shape of the Challenger is so cool! especially the 1970! I raced this car in the 1970’s 10 seconds in the quarter Mile is fast! I had a 340 Aluminum block made by Kieth Black. I was at Spring Fling a while back and spoke with them. He told me they were going to remake the aluminum 340 again and to contact them! He gave me his card I screwed up selling that all Aluminum Engine and my Car back then, but I had two boys and a Race Car was not Practical. It was beautiful and Fast! Now that I found it I will rebuild it try to order a 340 Keith Black aluminum screaming Mimi! My car was so fast it scared me at times a real Cherry Bomb! 10 seconds in the Quarter Mile is fast! So fast the speedo Gear would break! I was lucky enough to help my Brother Greg Pit Crew or drive the push car for Big Daddy Don Garlits, when he came out to the west Coast from Florida. My Brother and I welded the n Mufflers at Buds Muffler “No Muff Too Tuff” in West Covina California! When they went too using nitro! Don cut the the tip of his foot off. When the Clutch Exploded on his rail. He then designed the rear Engine Dragster putting the Push Car out of business! 1976 Ford Ranchero, But we still partied before the races at Bud Heaton’s house in La puente! A big Budweiser Can painted on the bottom of the Pool! Beer Drinkers and Hell Raiser’s in the 1970’s!
