70 Charger

[Coelacanth]

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.

Don't forget the '68 Charger in Blade and '69 Charger in Deathproof. Ahh...2nd-gen Chargers, the ultimate movie bad guy car.

I’m so glad this thread turned into a seam sealer debate. Who would have thunk. Kim

RC is about ready to have his car painted so if it helps him do it correctly, it is probably worth tolerating the seam seal debate briefly.

It's not too late!

In his mind he already knows what is correct as he has an original paint car. His mind is already made up the way he is gonna do it as he knows how his car came from the factory. But your right it seems the sealer was installed a few different ways. Kim

This is the 2nd 1970 Charger that I've owned. The first one was in 1976.

Back to the seam conversation.

 

[Coelacanth]

I never even noticed this seam correctness when my body man did my body & paint, which included a new rear valance and valance corners, new driver side rear lower quarter half and fabricating a passenger side rear lower quarter to match the driver side. He blended everything in smoothly. Clearly not the "OEM way" but I think I prefer the smooth look.

The problem with filling in the seams is that the car will be labeled as a bondo bucket by the purists of the hobby. In their defense, most Chargers with the seams filled in usually are bondo buckets.

Here's a picture of the original and unmolested seam on my '70 Charger. Pic taken today.

Now we need pictures of filled in seams on an unmolested car, if such a seam exists.
