Okay so I have a very rusty charger and the opportunity to buy a rusty coroner but the floors frame are decent my question is has anyone ever seen this done my charger pretty gone needs basically everything behind the firewall back but roof is good either way will be a lot of work both 318 cars

Bringing one back from the dead?

Kinda I really want a charger I just can't see spending 10 grand on a shell and still having rust to fix I was planning on ordering all the metal from amd but then this coroner came up I started thinking it maybe just as easy to do this instead I was just curious to see if anyone else had done this or thought about doing it

You mean Coronet....

Do you mean Coronet?

If so, save the Coronet if it has no major issues, it sounds like the Charger is DOA already.

If both cars are toast, sell or save the parts & start with a better car.

Sounds like both cars need a Coroner. If that rusty and 318 doubt they are worth sinking the money and time into. Maybe good parts cars.

What? I cannot understand any of this.

Maybe contact a coronor and find the cause of death.

Go find a better Charger

I see 66 67 Chargers in decent condition all the time for much less than the cost and work involved in fixing a basket case.

These cars are red headed step children so they don't have a ton of following. IMO

Is it because the look like a big AMC Marlin?

If you can make the body job ( total or partial ) by yourself I think worths the try.

If you have to pay for the full body job, forgett it

Ain't that the truth....

Coronet and the Marlin has a one night stand lol

Unless i`m blind in one eye and can`t see out the other, I don`t see where he even says what year it is?

That's all right it was just a question the 68-70 chargers seem to be high that's why I'm fixing mine for the money I stick into mine would be what a usable shell would cost except tons of labor not my first car I have built

I was talking about a 1970 I have and a 1968 dodge coronet I can buy for about 600.00 that has a solid frame most the floors the quarters are junk on the charger and coronet the roofs got typical Rust on coronet charger roof has no rust not a fan of the 66-67

So I think I'm reading:
You had a thought for your 70 Charger to use the floor pans, trunk pan, and rear frame rails from a donor 68 Coronet to save money? And the only good metal on your Charger is the roof?

Some thoughts are better left unsaid.
