Is there any measurements for the location of the shock towers on 71 b bodies?
I have my old rails and best I can do is measure from front of rail to lip of shock tower.
But my old rails are pretty bad.
Hi,
So cowl was replaced on my 71 Charger.
I know it used to use that foam gasket which can’t be replaced . I got to seal it from inside. My arm can reach everywhere.
Question is where does it need seam sealer? Does it need it on the gaps on the sides? On insiders of top? Or is it just...
Hey guys,
I'm getting close to putting my firewall and cowl back on my 71 Charger. I know between the firewall, and the top of the cowl there used to be that foam gaskets welded in between to seal the seam. Clearly thats not an option anymore. What would you guys use / do here? Is there a weld...
Anyone know if these will interchange? They look very similar.
Here's one I'm repairing for a 71 B body

And here's the e body one...
So I had to prime my rockers after cleaning them all up and getting a new cross member and floor supports. I don't have a full spray set up yet, and for such a small job, I didn't feel like mixing epoxy and stuff. I also felt like I'd waste half a can of primer if I bought the standard Spray Max...
70-4 E-Body Front Inner Fender Skirt Wheel Well Apron Shock Tower Frame Rail RH
Are all the pieces on this front clip identical to that of the b body? I know the frame rails are. The inner fenders are. I’m just wondering cause a fully assembled piece would save me a ton of time and money.
So started some firewall work. Noticed the “new”firewall I got has one vent. I’m changing it to a ac firewall so is this the difference between ac and non ac firewalls? I heard the firewalls between ac and non ac were slightly different.
Replacing all my rails and thought this one was one the sheet but it’s not. I don’t have front rails now so I need the measurement from the 2nd hole on torsion bar crossmember to either first on second hole on rear rail.
Anyone have a tram gauge? Or even a tape measure to do it?
Thanks.
So I've sanded down my rockers, removed paint and got 99% of the rust off.
There's obviously some pitting and stuff that my scuff pad surface disc couldn't get into to.
I'm going to be priming them next and am going to use Car-Rep 2K Epoxy Primers | 400ml Aerosol - Car-Rep Automotive Products...
Hey guys,
Looking for some advice here.
I got my floors out. Next I'm gonna remove the floor braces and then clean up my inner rockers. I plan to use those 3m scotch brite pads and maybe my little sand blaster for those nooks and crannies the pads wont get into.
After getting them down to the...
Anyone use one of these? I know AMD is the preferred for most, but they are low supply for everything 3rd gen. Plus the Goodmark one is half the cost for me in Canada.
Thinking of using their full floor and rear foot wells.
I'm curious what on the front end, from the torsion bar cross member forward, is interchangeable between the b and e bodies.
I know frame rails and inner fenders are. I know the upper cowl is different. Is the firewall the same?
Since the frame rails work, does the torsion bar cross member...
So It's time to do some frame rail and tackle the rest of my body work. Has anyone built a chassis jig before?
If you have, share your photos and plans. Bonus points for 3rd gens and supporting the car by the rockers or door pillar bolts!
Hey everyone,
So I just scored these rear rails from Moparmarks.
Was looking for peoples opinion on whether blasting them or dipping them before epoxy priming them would be best?
I have a small blaster and my compressor should be hooked up soon, so I can do that at home. But I also have a...
Hey everyone,
Curious what options are out there and what have people used. Working on the back end of my car now and have trunk pan and extensions all out. It was suggested I tackle the rear frame rails as they're starting to show bulging between joins and rust near the ends. Given that...
Anyone know if this piece I marked with the marker in the corner has a lip on it?
Basically looking for the order they go together. Its hard to tell on mine as all the rot was in those spots....
I know the trunk pan has a lip that goes up against the rear panel. but the extensions don't from...
Anyone ever order or use these?

The pic looks off, but I know the stock photo isn't always correct. Wondering if they're full length or not. Mine are mostly good. But where the spring perches and stuff are, where they all join together...
Here's the one on how I removed the 1/4 glass I mentioned.
It was pointed out that the glass can be removed without taking the track out. But I'm not sure that it would be easier than what I did looking at my glass. Either way, not much 3rd gen stuff out there so this should help if someone is...
Hey everyone,
I made a video on how to remove your front and rear glass. Figured it might help some people out.
Have another on how to do the 1/4 glass on 3rd gen b bodies since I couldn't find one. That will be up soon too.
