Is that the one your fixing or restoring? If that's a parts car, cut a few inches from the trunk gutter, through the trunk floor inside of the rail. Near the door, go into the rocker past the factory seam and match to the saw mark through the floor. Up top, take above the factory roof to 1/4 seam. Find it on yours first (seam is leaded up, it will be darker than steel when you sand it down) so you know where to cut. When you go to put it on your car, you will need to drill out all the spot welds as stated, take off all the left over trimmings and off she comes. If your having trouble separating the 1/4 from wheelhouse, add some heat from a butane torch from the inside wheewell. It lets that factory seam sealer go gooey and let the panel go without distorting or messing up the outer panel.

Most of that stuff was already gone. Some one had cut the structure inside of the 1/4's to get the rear window hardware and glass out.

Can you get the VIN and post it on the Charger registry? Regards,
