My personal opinion - I would not do it. Filling them in is asking for a place for moisture to collect with no way to escape. My 68 GTX that I had was filled in and it caused the lower quarter and trunk extension to rust out...which by the way was the only rust on the car and it was due to that gap being filled.

I agree Filling it inn would be a mistake. It needs to breathe in there.

X3 I saw a '69 Charger that had that gap filled with aerosol expanding foam. Quarter looked great on the face, trunk extension had almost completely rusted away on the bottom.

The early B-Bodies (like the '64 Polara) had extensions made of something like Masonite that filled the gap and kept stuff from filling the gap, yet let it breathe. I got some replacements from www.kanter.com and they probably could be made to work for you.

One of (the many) Mopars we had had a cardboard filler that fit in between the truck floor & outer quarter. Then there was a trunk mat that laid over top of that. Might have been the 69 Chrysler New Port. Gene My 68 Imperial had that. Kept it clean.
