Hey guys,

Ultimate Products show that the fiberglass fenders is for a 71-74. But if i am correct isnt the 71-72 fenders different than the 73-74???

And the same with the paddock parts with 71-74 CHARGER REAR LOWER FRONT FENDER-RH patch panels?

also does anybody know if the patch panels have the back brace?

Thanks,

Tj

I do not think the patch panels have the back brace (that seems to be a trouble area on my 71) Depending on the size of the patch needed it may be easier to have a patch made and welded in. I too have found it hard to locate and get shipped fenders.

what patch panels ? if you mean the "dog leg" patch panel, they work the same to any 3rd gen. patch panles doesn have any brace or reinforcement, is just a skin

fiberglass fenders... dunno which year are based those. Nobody reported got those to give a feedback about.

I tried looking at the patch panels on paddocks site and they have no pictures of them. I even called them and the lady I talked to had no idea what I was talking about. The only thing she could tell me was it was 19" tall, which is what was on the web site.  :icon_smile_dissapprove:

There are a couple places on ebay that have them for sale but from the looks of the pics, they just don't look right to me. I may have to get some metal and fabricate my own.

Thanks Nacho, They have the rear quarter patch panels too. I also think that the left rear spring shackle mount needs replaced and I see they have that too.    :scratchchin:

Thanks,

fab myself the patch panel AND the reinforcement patching... living outside USA sometimes is easier and cheap fab myself whatever is easy to make.
