Just stumbled across this website. Grew up with Mopars, and the love affair still continues. About 13 or 14 years ago I put in some serious time on a 78 Fury police car. 4 door, 400 4v. Car was trashed via rust (afterall, it was a NJ car). Here's some bad pictures of it from that time period after a serious amount of R&R:
Anyway, we had gotten some sheet metal for it. rear quarters and rockerpanels. For the life of me I can't remember where we got them. Could have even been JC Whitney, back when they still carried that kind of stuff. I've actually got another one of these cars (77 400, another ex-copper) and I need the same parts, but I can't find reproductions anywhere (big surprise).
So, I thought I'd ask you folks. Any leads? Anybody got some here, or know of a place that stamps em? Floor pans would help, too.. but quarters definitely. As far as I know, I think sheet metal is shared back to 76. Anyone that knows better, please feel free to correct me.
Barring that, I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge of modifying earlier B body stuff, like 73-74 sheetmetal. I'm no stranger to fabrication, but if it's not even worth trying, I'd appreciate the 2 cents. I realize these are big questions, but I'd appreciate any insight.
Many thanks!
