Time and time again I see guys bitch about quality of these cars. Why not do some good and elaborate on your thoughts? I see a few things that are not factory correct but nothing that warrants being bashed or insulted.
I saw the rear valance (Pronounced VAA-Lance not VAY-Lance like I hear some people say) corner seams filled in. The trunk floor looks to have been patched. Underhood isn't stock but it wasn't intended to be. The grille isn't perfect, no radiator blackout either.
Why not make yourself useful and be specific?

Korn Dog, I'll be specific here. Where are the welds that hold the new floor in place? Should not be a gap between torsion bar crossmember or trans crossmember or frame rails, ect. I see this all the time. The Typical ameture will just weld around the outside edge of new floor & that's it. While the middle of the floor just hangs suspended in mid air & with a 1/4 inch to 1 inch gap between the new floor & frame rails ect. Here's a pic to better show what I'm saying. LEON.

In reality, when I called it a mediocre car, I was being kind. Here goes.....

Twisted front bumper, no wheelwell moldings, gloss paint on the tail panel, no time to make the replacement rear quarters look factory, no drain holes cut out in the replacement floor & trunk pans, painted armrest bases, painted red on the insides of the doors, a/c dash & no a/c firewall, crappy aftermarket engine compartment harness, sloppy welds on the bottom of the rear valance, bottoms of rear bumper guards hanging in the breeze, painted door jamb switches, incorrect seat upholstery, missing hood bumpers, missing washer bottle, convolute covering on all wiring (barf), missing front bumper guards, painted on stripe, wrong horn, door attachment bolts not painted, wire-tied transmission cooler lines, door bumpers missing, crappy front sway bar bushing kit, missing emergency brake pad, heater hoses not connected, painted heater box nuts & upper control arm nuts & hardware, battery cables, old crusty front end & K-frame, 1 seat frame nut missing, painted underneath to make it look less bad, hardware store bolts holding front valance, missing bezel around defogger switch, crappy fitting upper dash pad cover, hood pins, 3' long exhaust tips, missing fender tag, battery strap, missing Charger emblem in grille, missing Charger emblem & insignia in tail panel, bubbling chrome on the door handles, wrong PS pump cap (and most likely pump), hardware store bolts on front of engine, wrong radiator, fan shroud, hood turn signal wiring missing.

I'm sure there's more, but that's a start.
