Try THIS next time you take pictures.

The vertical pictures don't look right.
Which do you think looks better?

Filled in rear valance corner seams. That’s a no-no.

70 Chargers has a bead of seam sealer in them. If you look closely on my car,the seems are there.

Not talking about your car. But the bead of sealer was only where the corners meet the quarters, not where the corners meet the valance.

70 Chargers had it on both seems.

Mine had a small smear just underneath the bumper only. And that was an original paint car.

Both of mine do. Was this not done on the 68 and 69 models ??
Isn’t it strange that over the last few years, the 70 has really become more popular than before?
It used to be that many Mopar guys dismissed the 70 strongly in favor of the 68-69 model cars. Many custom builders have used the 70 instead, SpeedKore being one of them.
Here is one from Reno last week.

I have seen them done ontop like that and done the entire seem,on both sides on 70 Chargers. 68 and 69 Chargers had no sealer at all on the valence side.

The Fast and Furious movies put the 70 Chargers firmly on the map. Valve wise they bring equal money these days. The 68 Charger R/T was the first big screen star,in Bullitt. The the 69 Charger R/T hit the big screen in Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, then later on the Dukes of Hazzard Television show and Movie. It took the Fast and Furious series to push the 70 Chargers to fame.

So, I was right.

 

[chargervert]

Depending upon who did the sealer on that shift,results may vary.

Just visited the body shop this morning. This was how mine was done when it was built.

 

[chargervert]

I have seen them like that,I have seen them onto the face done to the body line 3/4 inch,and I have seen them done the entire seam top to bottom.

 

[RemCharger]

RC has had quite a few Chargers, and chargervert had the rest. A real throw down!

There is no way of knowing 54 years later that the seam sealer didn't crack and fall out of the seams.

Yes there is. If it had cracked a fallen out, there wouldn’t be finish paint underneath.
