I have attached a few pictures of some weird stuff I found on my 69 Charger
First, under the hood, there is a crack line in the metal on the wheel hump under the hood
Second, it is kind of opening up right by the back seat glass edge, when you open the door
Both are on the passenger side.
Could this be from drag racing? It has a build 440 in it. I wonder if it was too much power for the body.
I heard they used torque boxes on hemi cars only until 1971 then they were used on 440 cars that help to keep the power form flexing the unibody frame. I have reason to think that maybe the car had been hit in the back long, long, long ago but I am perplexed by these 2 things. Anyone seen something like this before?
thanks!
