My neighbor pulled up with this on the trailer today...

To most folks it is too far gone, but if your a sheetmetal and body guy it isnt. There so many pieces being reproduced to repair this shell.

Surface plate the shell, or jackstand it, shim it, square it up, level it, and remove and replace one piece at a time. If the framerails are fairly solid when you cut into the floors then sandblast the insides of the rails, primer, and install new floors and trunk floor. This will make the car solid enough to now work on taillight panel, valance, rockers, trunk extensions, and quarters.

Hell on another thread cannucky just replaced a trunk floor, spliced rear framerails, and installed a new valance on his cuda fastback. He isnt an autobody man, and his replacement of the framerails, valance and floorpan turned out great. Seen another member on here swap an entire front clip up to the firewall under his 69 cuda that was wrecked beyond straightening. This charger wouldent be worth fixing in even the 1990s, but with the repop steel available now, its worth fixing.

You have to rework a car like this in sections. Starting with getting it structurally sound, first, then worry about the outer skins last. With all the AMD steel pieces available that fit like a glove for 68-70 chargers I'd do the metalwork on this car in a heartbeat.

Whats a basic V8 charger go for these days $50k restored. Its worth restoring.

Well put. So much new sheet metal is being produced for 68 to 70 B bodies you could probably build a complete new car. That is very restorable and it looks straight.

I recently bought a 69 GTX that needs quite a bit of new metal. If repop stuff wasn't available I doubt I would have bought it. Replaced the front clip. Patched rockers, new trunk, trunk corners, tail panel, quarters, outer rockers done. Still need to replace Dutchman panel, window corners, drivers side floor and roof. It was a vinyl top car that I am positive contributed to 80% of the rot.
