With a little work, these cars can be real screamers. Good luck!

Thanks Ron I had to stop a bit because I ruptured a disc in my back again. I went and had some type of steroid shot last week. I hope to be back at it soon.

Well there is 2 ways to do that cut and patch the lower quarter panel or go buy a stud welder from Harbor Freight, remove all the paint and weld studs to it then pull it out with a slide hammer. The door might be easier to replace.

Easy to say, sometimes difficult to do but hope you get things working and feeling better real soon! Us Ole Mopar guys don't give in easy....

Here is a link that you might find useful.. A lot you can do with some basic body repair skills as snakeyes said but this is a good place for some body parts... IF needed, bad areas look solid!

Believe me or not but i tore a bottom quarter panel out of my sons Camaro once, putty was popping up everywhere in the area, I found a pop can (orange drink) a wad of tin foil and the rest was fixed up, with insulation foam, cut off with straight edge razor, and putty spread and shaped to make it look good.. What got me worse, if possible, was they didn't even trim any rust from the jagged metal around the area, had to be for a quick sell is the only thing i can think of, ive seen worse like newspaper spread over holes smooth sanded and painted with nothing behind it.. some is hard to believe, thats the truth. This Charger looks solid from what i can see, it can be fixed..
