Hi Guys ! 
                   Greetings from across the pond ! I have just purchased a 68 Charger R/T   :2thumbs:  from Utah for restoration which is currently in transit  back to good "Ole Blighty"  . Quick question , this car needs rear lower quarter panels as its gone around the wheel arches and lower rear end . Is it easier to replace the whole rear quarter panel or just the lower half. I can see the lower panel repair section kind of ends at the top of the rear "Fender" are these easy to fit and blend in bearing in mind this is a long panel and the car is going to be painted Black ?  :o  Any advice would be Great

Welcome !  :cheers:
To eliminate a maximum of rust in the inner side of the rear fenders, choose full face panels...  :popcrn:

Do it right, do it once !  :2thumbs:

It makes the work after appear better since there is no seam to be blended in halfway down the panel.  Welcome to the group.

Welcome aboard!

Where in ole Blighty are you?  I lived in Manchester for a little while which is ironic because when I moved to the US, I ended up in Ann Arbor which is very close to Manchester, Michigan.   :icon_smile_big:

Not 3 Litre ...............Rover 3.9 , Offenhauser 360 Dual plane Manifold , Holley 390 , Fast road cam , Cloyes steel Timing gears , straight through sidepipes..........Sounds like Thunder Goes like Lightning  :2thumbs:.  Hopefully only the Dodge will Be better ? I've wanted one since I saw Bullitt in the 70's ;)

Dino

I had a Capri or two, but not that peppy.  Still, very nice cars.  Yes the Dodge will give you a bit more smile going down the road, no doubt about it.   :icon_smile_big:
