We're going in reverse here?,....people clammer for years "Oh God giv us full qtrs!  please".....do yourself a favor, save up your coin, don't bother with patches, 1/2 panels etc,....do it right, do it once, you'll be glad you did,....your doing a Charger, it's worthy of it,....if it was a clapped out 4dr A body, I'd say go for it, save a few bucks,....but not a Charger

If you look around and check a few suppliers you can get a set for about $1100-$1200, plus shipping, unless you can pick them up?.....after your done welding the 1/2 skins, and doing all the body work to get them ready for prime/ blocking you'll be .......buy the full qtrs, plus once you open the car up, you'll find more that needs repair or replacement,....it's a never ending deal, just do it right, or you'll be revisiting it down the road, the "corner cutters" allways do

Your right,don't get me wrong full qtrs is the way to go. From what I've read other brands of skins were bad, stamping not good,bad lines,bad fit,metal to thin. And there is alot of cars out there with skins on them. I'm sure it took alot of work to make them look good. I just thought maybe if AMD was making skins that they may be good and fit better, have good body lines,not be wavy,and the only part that would need work is were the weld is,and save me a few hundred $$$. For me a hundred $$ here and hundred $$ there is alot. Just trying to get some ideas.

For 70 Coronet and 73/74 Charger crowd, skins are still the only option and they suck! I can't beg enough for these... But unless the moparts crowd screams loud enough it's doubtful AMD is going to make these... Which is a shame... If they made these I would buy them plus all the other parts (trunk floor, wheelhouses/ extensions etc.. w/o them (full OEM Quarters) the rest of the parts can just sit on the shelf...
