I have a 71 Challenger convertible that I am finally able to start working on. Has anyone used AMD quarter skins and if so are they decent quality? Can a coupe trunk floor and outer wheelhouses be made to work on the convertible? I know in general there is a lot of work to make a/m fit, but looking for some advice specific to these parts on a convertible. This is a driver car and will never be anything more than that. Talk to Moparts member convertcuda, Ken makes the modified E body qtrs for AMD, along with a host of other components....

Yes Ken is the only one doing these conversions that I know of. Which means "Ain't Cheap"! I am wrapping up a 3 year project rebuilding a 70 Hemi Cuda 4 speed Convertible tribute. I have step by step articles that would help you or anyone else attempting a project like this. Go to: www.moparconnectionmagazine.com/category/projects/comeback-cuda/

The trunk floor is the same so no issue there. Yes the coupe outer wheelhouses can be adapted. AMD quarter skins were not available when mine was done but all that I've read has a clear consensus that they are nice pieces (I'm talking about the hardtop quarters because unless something changed they don't offer vert quarters). If you need the whole quarter then you'll either have to modify or there was someone doing that and selling them..... AMD is now listing full convertible quarters for sale.

There were two different trunk floors put into a 1971 Challenger during the 1971 production year. The floor changes at the end of May 1971 and really is a 1972 trunk floor. The change is for shock assess holes in the floor. Early on top, late facing rear of trunk. There are still original late trunk floors for a Challengers for sale at most Chrysler show, Carlisle or the Nationals. AMD did sell both early and late Challenger trunk floors. You would have to look it up to see if they still do.
