Starting New Build 72 Charger Rallye

[JB400]

Looks pretty decent

[72Charger72]

Already changed trunk deck and have a decent bumper...needs drivers side floor pan replaced and quarter panel work...also worried the rear frame has some serious rust.

[72Charger-SE]

She'll be an awesome ride when it's done...  What are your plans for the car?

[72Charger72]

I have had this building for 30 yrs! First I totaled Second one was almost mint and an uninsured driver caved the frame...She will just be a sunny day driver!
My daughter thinks she gets it...LOL
Motor is 440 30 over...just finished cleaning it up

[CDN72SE]

Looking forward to the build, do you have the R/T doors? Looks like you have the '72 Rallye's on there.

[72Charger72]

No the 72 Rallye Doors but I like them better and there in great shape....no work needed

[72Charger72]

heres the rust problem
1st and second are drivers side rear frame
3rd is passenger side rear frame
4th is splash pan on drivers side...not too bad...there also one under the rear seat I didn't notice

welcome aboard       

looks like a good starting point  , so the questions are what colour is it going to be  and what interior is going in it .

is it going back to the fender tag or are you building it the way you would have ordered it 

[ACUDANUT]

I would find the correct doors. 

[archie360]

Looks like an SE to me.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[ACUDANUT]

How can you tell it was se ? I know the engine is the wrong color.

[72Charger72]

Ah see thats the beauty. There are absolutely no numubers matching its a hotch podge of three different 71-73's that I owed at one time...
Its going to be Burnt Yellow and Black....not sure about the interior yet but I like the doors and the engine color. I never liked the orange.

If you need parts Clay & sons in Catawissa is a good source and good guy(of course I cant find his # now that I need it)

[72Charger72]

Thanks found him on the Googles!

[72Charger72]

New Pics pulled seats and carpet and console....rear quarters and seat belt area is toasted much worse than I expected....driver side and passenger side kick panels need replacing...found a local guy at cost of 95.00/hr to do some welding...wish I knew how  

[ottawamerc]

I would recommend that you strip the car down and send the shell to a dip and strip. It will give you a full indication of how much metal repair will be required and if at that point if its worth it Which it looks like it is! When I rebuilt my car I didn't do that and I spent way too many hours stripping the car till I could even think about patching it. Then when you get it back you will get to be good friends with a AMD dealer

Have fun and keep at it.
