Rear deck lid fitment is also questionable.

[VegasCharger]

Nice rear valance/corner fitment.

I know LMAO!!

WTF 

[smithenhiven]

Kind of off topic, but is that generally how AMD metal wants to line up?  Or is that just piss poor workmanship?  If that is how it lines up, what does one do to make it right?  Cut and resection/reshape the quarter to fit the corner, or hack up the corner to fit the quarter; a little bit of both?  I've never done this kind of body work before, and likely will have to learn how on my new project Charger, but I don't want it to end up looking like that one.

Looks like somebody didn't know how the rear went together.

all body panels need a certain amount of work to make them fit properly ,
genuine OEM & aftermarket / repop stuff  to a greater or lesser extent & some / most aftermarket need the most work to make then fit the best , although it all depends whos doing the work to how good the finished result is !  
 the problem we are seeing should not even have got that far it was /is a simple  fix  to the lower rear quarter &  lower rear valance corners, I cant understand why something so simple to sort out has been left , seeing as all the other work they have done going by the pictures  appears to be ok /good enough

Nice rear valance/corner fitment.

WTF  

Crazy

Look at all the different panels coming together that can screw up the fit of the corner caps:

- Trunkfloor.  
- Side dropoffs that connect to the quarter skins.  
- Quarter skins.  
- Rear subframe rail cross brace.  
- Rear valance.  
- Taillight panel.  

Most of this repro stuff isn't exactly right.  Tolerances stack up and minor misfits become major ones.

-----------------------------

I've said it before:  We should have a permanent thread for problems with repro panels.  

There won't be total agreement on everything.  But it would help to have all that talk logged in one convenient place.

Start one!  I'd love to see all the differences and fixes in one spot.

This seems to be an obvious fix.  Attach the corner to the quarter first and all the other stuff, then the rear valence.  Would that work??

[70 sublime]

i think it looks like they had heard the lower corner parts do not fit well and when they got to that part none of it really fit so they just left it and blamed it on the bad corner part

They also say in their description this car was done to high light what they can do for you and have had it sitting around as a display car for 2 years

[HANDM]

Seems to me that a little old fashioned panel bending (not cut and section) and welding would get those quarter to corners to look right. Also put the quarter end pieces on, adjust/ tweak the decklid and all would probably be fine

Not saying the thing isn't overpriced though 

[Mike DC]

          
There was a thread a few years ago where somebody was putting a quarter skin on a pretty original solid car.  The original corner cap & valance were still in place.  

The guy DID need to cut a narrow wedge-shaped sliver out of the repro quarter to make it fit the corner cap.   The piece removed was significant, like 1/2" wide at the bottom.  It narrowed to a point at the first body line up (near the top of the corner cap).      

This is the sort of stuff that we should be keeping track of.

This one probably does not qualify for this category. Only 45k!

I remember that car being discussed on here somewhere, maybe earlier in this thread, or it's own link when it was on ebay.  What a disaster.  There's no coming back there, chopped roof, shortened wheelbase, just awful.

Yes it does.

i'm pretty sure that car has been kicking around the internet forsale since the mid 2000s,  yes I know everyone has their own taste !  their own car to do what ever they choose, but  seriously  who ever done this to the most beautiful shaped car that's ever been built needs a serious talking to ! &  a court order to ban him from ever using  a reciprocating air & or saber saw & a mig welder ever again

That lime green thing is a parts car, it just hasn't happened yet.  Eventually some owner is gonna have to take the financial loss and admit that nobody (including himself) wants it like it is.

Hey now you guys, that's no way to talk about a show winning car! It came in 1st place on the Gong Show!

Given the location, I'd say that this guy has been smoking too much reefer.
