On the 1972 Dodge Challenger are the quarter panels you are using from AUTO METAL DIRECT? I have the same car and will be doing the same thing. If so how are the lined to original panel? Thank You.
@DachsAutos11 күн бұрын
@mattsecuro2968 Yes, the Mopar certified AMD panel. Much better quality than the Sherman panel we tried first. This car has seen it's share of past life, so some things needed some massaging, but the panel itself is solid quality, which the price reflects.

I'm not sure, it was provided by the customer. He had ordered some other parts as well (battery box, etc) and they were never delivered. - This trunk filler did not fit well either, so, not something I would suggest. -- Might want to check with these guys, and see if they have anything, or suggestions. - www.wildcatmopars.com - I used them for some parts on the Challenger rebuild.

I’m sure you know by now but the calipers are on the wrong side. You have the left caliper on the right side and vice versa. Bleed screws ALWAYS go on the TOP otherwise air will be trapped in the caliper. Just like a thermostat. The jiggle air valve goes at the top to bleed air out. (and the wax pellet part faces the engine block-very important).

It’s for a 2001 GT that is in really good condition except for the tear across the seam of the window 🤪

I have absolutely zero automotive upholstery experience though, and this video has tons of new-to-me information in it.
