70RT Charger OP super stock Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 732 eastern,Ky	I bought a set of rust free complete inner and outer wheelhouses off of a 68 4-door coronet after being told they would work on my charger.After looking at them the inners look the same but the outers looks like the lip might be about a inch lower than my chargers,I cant hardly tell because mine are rusted out.Can anybody please confirm if they are or are not the same.Thanks

Inners need to be "worked" LOL Hey is that my car? lol. Thats where mine where rotted. I replaced the trunk floor and full 1/4's but sitll have the crappy wheel houses. I wish I did something about them BEFORE I put the 1/4s on but that would have made to much sense i guess.. NMike, who is AMD and do they have an ETA? Im looking to have the car running around this spring and those wheel wells is the last big peace of body work i need to take car of.

I recently ran into major problems trying to use Goodmark's "Authentic Reproduction" Dodge B-Body outer wheelhousings on my 1969 Charger 500. I believe the same parts are sold by other vendors as well. To read about the differences and other problems that I encountered check out my restoration thread starting at post #514... http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,33799.510.html I would get used wheelhousings or wait for AMD's repros...

Perhaps the next generation of restorers will have better material and can redo what we've left behind. 4227455-superbee4093.jpg (206 downloads)

I received my first AMD part last week, the new one-piece Charger trunk floor... LOOKS EXCELLENT! If it fits well (and I believe that it will!), I will be buying all my repro sheetmetal from AMD...

Also, the metal sheet thickness seems to be correct or at least very near to the original... not half as thick like some repro sheetmetal parts are!
