How to straighten that backseat/speaker frame? Must been a helluva hit. :icon_smile_blackeye:

You'll have to remove sieve that used to be a quarter :yesnod:,set it up on frame rack,weld a few tabs and pull,once everything is pulled straight,cut the tabs off and clean off the welds

yeah would put it on
a frame rack ! to see whats  going on
although this looks like something crushing , not so much hitting
impact , hard to say really with out more pictures :scratchchin:
look at the creases in the metal , in the door jam where the striker is , looks a down ward impact :scratchchin: although,there is big damage there done some time in the past also & different times      :scratchchin:


, would check every thing looks like some dude has cut some massive corners in that repair !!  once all dimensions have been checked & altered if necessary , could try working the metal in place or remove said piece , straighten & weld it back in   :yesnod:
are you starting a total resto ??  ,

Any more pics of the outside of the quarter? :scratchchin:

Some body guys really should stop asking money for the work they deliver.....They even drilled holes to let the filler attach better to the panel  :RantExplode:

NOS is nice, turbo's are neat, but when it comes to Mopars, there's no need to cheat...


terrible one

Picture #2 . . . I couldn't quite tell what I was looking at at first! It looks like they just cut out some of the old quarter and overlapped it with a new patch.  :brickwall: :eyes:

regardless if it's a bump,push,squeeze,crush,hit,it needs to be pulled out and without removing the remnants of the quarter,welding tabs you will not be able to get that kink out

:yesnod: yep that true  !!all needs cutting off  ,
not that it really matters as it all needs removing  , but how has the outer quarter been attached  :scratchchin: cant see weld through anywhere  :scratchchin:
stuck the outer quarter on  :scratchchin:

Thanks for the input! The patch is attached by pop rivets and bondo.Everything looks normal from outside.I was planing of doing a total resto someday, but not right now.Frame rails are solid, but some panels has to be replace of course.Car needs some mechanical work, but its drivable as is and I don't have money to do a total resto right now.

oh right i see !! well at least all the important metal to do the job is being repoped  :coolgleamA:  could  always do a section at a time !  ie , just sort the quarter etc etc !!  :scratchchin:

I have the door jam piece that I removed from a 68 has all the seems you can have it if you want it for shipping the shipping cost.

Lots cheaper that the repops

Thanks for the offer, but I have to buy other parts and money is kinda low right now.
