73 charger wheelhousing..

[Travis_216]

Does anyone make new outer wheelhouses? I searched around but came up with nothing. I can only find 71/72.

I have not seen any as of yet. You could always just buy my 73 340 rallye that is already restored and you won't have to worry about them.:laughing7:

D575 they say 71-74 but they won't work apparently because 71/72 quarters are 1.25" off.

For the 71 and 72 you mean?

yes you are right i mean the 71 and 72 amd sells them with the notice "modify for 73-74".
I had to replace both sides of my charger and the wheelhouses fit more less perfect. Only problem i had was on the passenger side where the wheelhouse meets the rocker panel, there was a small gap of maybe a 1/2 cm. If you want i can load a pic to show you what i mean.

No problem. If you look in the marked area you will see the gap.



The gap wasn't hard to fix

Awesome thanks! What brand quarter panel did you use?

 

[plygtx67]

I used the quarter panels from tabco body parts. I purchased the panels at auto body specialties in middlefield,ct.
If i can trust my brain, you will pay less if you purchase the panels directly over tabco. I'm a fan from amd but unfortunately they don't make quarters for our cars.
The tabco panels have also a good fit, no problems at all

I know the pic could be better, it was made with my old samsung cellphone. :sad11:
Yeah that was the only modification i made to the wheelhouses, otherwise it fit perfect.
