Dutchman panels for 68-70 Coronets and Satellites

[Kern Dog]

Didn’t the factory have seams where the Dutchman panel met the quarter panels?

These two cars have gone through body and paint so I suspected that the seams were filled. My Charger still has seams.

Uhhhhhh.......wow. I'm sure nobody "added a seam". Convertibles are filled with lead in that area. I'm curious myself now

Seams on my 70

 

[Kern Dog]

Thanks guys… I thought so.

 

[moparedtn]

Seams, yep.

 

[CoronetDarter]

Hah! Dwayne had the same idea as me.
During the resto I had the seams filled. With weld not bondo.

I agree, seems like seams to me. GTx's and Roadrunners have seams.

Here's my vert. No seams on the dutchman.

No seams on convertibles. Seams on hardtops

 

[eldubb440]

no seams on a 67 hard top........ 68-70, yes

 

[MWbirdLOVER70]

Maybe a support thing on verts over coupes and hardtops?

 

[Kern Dog]

Without the glass and speaker deck/package tray, the Dutchman is relatively unsupported.

anything to add rigidity to a convertible, it's totally different

I agree with torque boxes and such but thought that was an added

the dutchman is "boxed" for lack of a better term, and pretty much all the way around the opening

Ok just adding my 2 cents and didn’t know better why some did and didn’t have seams and more so on verts
