Wondering if this will fit a 71 charger?

Seems many front parts on Ebody are same.   Was wondering how far back the similarities are.

I do not believe any body parts are interchangeable between any of the platforms (A, B, C, or E).

The inner fenders, front suspension and drive train are all the same.  For E and B bodies. Minus 4 1/2 inches off the driveshaft.
1971-72 that is.

Maybe I should clarify.  Body panels (body parts, glass, bumpers, etc), not mechanical (suspension, drivetrain).  For example a Cuda door will not fit on a Charger.

Ive used the fender brackets, inner fenders, frame rails and firewall thus far from the Ebody

so i wasnt sure if the side firewall panel would fit?

the picture looks pretty much identical to mine but i guess size should be different and hinges extra could be different location

Oh, OK, that's the kick area.

I don't think they interchange

This I can vouch for, they are not interchangeable. The door hinge post is different. The part that meets the firewall that is seen from them outside with the fender removed is the same but as soon as it gets to the step inward to wrap around the door hinge post is totally different. I bought both left and rights thinking they would for directly on my 73 charger. I spent alotmof time cutting, fanning and welding and cursing making them work.
