Hello everyone. A few years ago I sold my 69 Dart drop top to my buddy and now he's having it painted. There is something strange going on at the top of door/fender margin...sort of a wierd looking margin mismatch or something. Can anyone post a pic of that margin area preferable close up for detail? The body guys has the car and is wanting to know. It looks like a nice moon shape on the fender and a jacked up S shape or something on the door. We're thinking both doors have been skined or something, but a pic is worth 1000 words.

Thanks in advance!

I have a 67 Dart convertible. I just went outside and looked at mine - mine look exactly the same as yours, left and right. Must just be the way they were made.

I think yours are normal. Here are pics of my '67 Barracuda and '66 Coronet. They're not uniform; they're not even the same from side to side. We're obviously not dealing with Lexus-like precision here.
