I pulled the Charger into the garage to fix the rear passenger side valance corner (I backed into something) and fix where my wife backed into it (fortunately the same area) but.....
I had side exit exhaust which has been a real pain living in the country so no better time to modify the rear valance for rear exit like I've been wanting too... here comes custom made 3" stainless exhaust from the mufflers back. That uses up the area where the reverse lights go so now another mod to add better lights.
Outside of those it has a blemish on the quarter from gas overflowing while parked on a bank and now I notice the notorious crack forming behind the driver side door on top of the rear quarter from the body flexing! I'm almost to the point where I'm just going to pull all the trim, fix everything and repaint the body (fenders, doors, hood, etc are all good).
My question is can you eliminate that cracking from happening? It has new AMD full quarters and subframe connectors. The subframe connectors are homemade but are a direct copy of the Hopkins bolting to the rear leaf shackle mount and welded to the torsion bar cross member. I don't drive it easy at all, that's not what being a Mopar fanatic is all about so any suggestions are welcome.
