This is a ratrod build, so he don’t care how about originality. He likes the front look of the Charger and does not want to spend the money to find a Charger shell. So will it bolt on or need some modifications or will it won’t work? [IMG]http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/migsbig/Hippo_skull_dark-1.jpg[/IMG]

The door of the Coronet sort of matches the fender on the sides but not the top. The Coronet lacks the distinctive ridges that the Charger has.

I was thinking he could maybe modify the coronet fenders to accept the Charger grill. If he could make it look like what he wants, he’d be good with that.

As mentioned the body lines will be an issue, but this guy made to save it I guess using a Charger door skin on the front doors frame. Now, installing the door skin in a 2 doors Coronet... well, will be dealing to the next body line: quarter. 4 doors could be easier since the next door allow a line breaking between the Charger and the Coronet body lines. more pics here, with sun over the body showing a bit more the lines matching job.
