Well there was a reason we called them Rusters when I was growing up in the NE! I only start with SW dry climate bodies because I have no interest in all the sheet metal work a wet climate Mopar will need!Mopar bodys look cool, but something I learned recently . I got 69 charger upper quarter panel sections to attach to my 1983 gm sheet metal el camino rear quarters. Got started on fitting 1 side together in march, all bare cleaned up raw metal. Then it sat covered up in damp florida environment till last weekend. One part is more rusted than the rest. Wanna guess which part??
I don't mean a little more rusty, I mean a lot. Anyone repairing an old mopar body has my sympathy. Might want a few extra coats of spi epoxy for panel stability.
Lookin good though Wes.

Was that a Goodmark panel? I ask because I have found Goodmark panels to be low quality. Replaced both quarters on my '68 Coronet R/T and the side marker cutouts were 3" off from one side to the other. The body line on the right quarter was running down hill toward the rear of the car.
Later I purchased an AMD panel and it was spot on for fit and much better quality.
