Is it worth it???

Dang fool ain't listening....

Ok, my only piece of advice is to go to YouTube and find a channel called Junkerup .
The fellow's name is Chris Birdsong. He is an absolute wizard with metalwork, the way it used
to be done - and his specialty is 2nd gen Chargers, of which I have witnessed him literally
re-create one out of thin air.
He takes some of the most ridiculously eat up Chargers (like yours) and when he's done, the metal
on them is BETTER than new. It's amazing stuff to watch for sure - and he cuts no corners, pardon
the pun.

His latest was redoing a sunroof Charger that was as eaten up as yours, maybe worse - and rebuilding
that body without the usual help from AMD and so forth. Real Pioneering metalwork.
Dude does it right and won't accept less.

I believe the small ones are for the corners of the trunk drip rail, the larger ones are for the lower rear corners of the back window area.

There's no since in beating a dead horse but here's my 2c.
Unless it's an extremely rare optioned car (you have the fender tag/build sheet right?). AND you are capable of doing everything but maybe the paint. And have a a place to do all of the nasty grinding cutting blasting, etc. Even than it's a $1,000.00 car at best. The roof skin as noted may (probably) needs a donor car (A pillar misc stuff you can't see yet). Chances are if you open the car up your going to wish you've never seen it. Good luck!

Nope.......that's not a resto....that's building a new car from new parts that looks like that one!! Spending a few grand more will get you a much better car and will save you big money in the long run....just my 2 pence!!

All 4 are for the lower rear window corners. The small pieces are the inner or underneath the larger outer ones.
