67 Coronet Rear Frame Rail / Wheel House Options

[Matthew J]

Hi, I'm new to the 67 B-bodies, so I have some newbie questions.

I recently bought a 67 Coronet with some rusty rear frame rails that will need to be replaced. Nobody seems to repo them, and used seem like they will be hard to find. Is it possible to modify the 68-70 AMD rails to fit, or are they completely different?

Also, AMD does not list 67 Coronet as one of the cars that their inner wheel houses will fit. I thought they were all the same for 66-70 B-bodies. Are the 67 Coronet inner wheel houses different?

I'm already resigned to scrounging for 1/4 panels. Wish AMD would show the 67s a little more love. Any advice is appreciated!

Joe Phillips Restoration makes full quarters, drop offs 1/2 quarters and maybe other parts. Appears to be some happy customers on this site.

AMD lists their inner wheel houses as all 66 -70 B bodies. No one makes outers for 66 -67 coronet, as far as I know. As mentioned above, check with Joe Phillips. The 68 -70 frame rails are the same basic shape as the 66-67, but have minor differences such as the fuel tank strap mounting points.

Thank you for the info. Being a Roadrunner guy up till now, it really helps. The thing that threw me about AMD inner wheel house is if you set your vehicle as 67 Coronet it doesn't show up in available parts. Also, it isn't listed in vehicle applications, even though 67 Charger and 67 GTX are. To make it more confusing, other websites sell the same AMD inner wheelhouse as correct for the 67 Coronet.

Look at the photo of inner panel you are displaying above...

check it out before you buy it.

my 2 cents worth.

They are not mopar people, and don't research things enough. I have seen things like that before.

Look at the photo of inner panel you are displaying above... it does not show it fully as it should.

its missing the part where it meets the outer skin panel at the wheel opening...

you may have to fill it in yourself.... check it out before you buy it.



my 2 cents worth.

The outer wheelhouse meets the quarter panel, not the inner.

I spoke to Joe recently and he does not make the inner wheel house panel.

He is making a partial panel and can make it full 8 ft panel down to any size you might want.

He made my left side full panel below.

I said it wrong

We have some framerails both sets are still in the body shell, non Michigan cars. Also have a good
pair of inner wheel houses too, which would not take too long to remove. If you may be interested
just let us know.

If they are in pretty good shape, I would be interested for sure...

Matt, I was going to PM you.... but my inbox is full and the conversation page will not let me delete
any old messages, as I intended on sending you a pm tonight on what parts we have here. I will try
again tomorrow to send you a pm.

I might be interested if shipping isn't crazy. I need the rear bumper crossmember too... mine is completely disintegrated.
