strange place for rust?

[1BAD68]

ever see severe rust in this area before?

[41husk]

that is strange, even if water was getting in through the windows. it would just run down not sit there.  I wonder if that isn't Chemically induced?

[694spdRT]

I would guess prior damage that was not repaired properly caused that. It almost looks like bondo was put right over rust from the pic.

I've seen that happen when quarter patch panels were installed using the overlap method. Rust forms between the panels in the overlapped area.

yep, thats what looks like happened here.

[694spdRT]

Yeah, the second pic does look like the seam is seperating.

That's a sad sight.   Is that car going cheap? Does the rest of it look ok?

[41husk]

I don't think anyone said the car was for sale.  If so theat rust would not scare me off.

[nh_mopar_fan]

It's on Ebay.

[41husk]

my bad, I guess it is for sale That rust still wouldn't scare me off for the right asking price.

$4,000 will buy the new quarters to take care of that problem.

It looks like the may have braised in the pieces with brass rather than welding with a MIG. The plastic will always bubble and separate right where the brass is first then the moisture will take over. The two metals expand and contract at different temps and also will oxidise very fast.

Can't you all tell Photoshop when you see it? 

[Dave22443]

Its not a photoshop.

Bidding is already up to $7300.00

[The70RT]

With all the rust everywhere else it looks like it was his daily driver. Snow and all......throw in a little salt

i sat in the car and kicked the floors all around and they felt solid

472,

  Is that a picture of the underside of a Charger?  Or the Titanic? 

[472 R/T SE]

I copied the image location from the 3D website.  Unfortunately it comes across BIG.  It's the subframe pieces.

[konigcharger]

i resized it for you

 I can fix that...my dad is a TV repairman and he has an awesome set of tools.
   My Texas car has almost no rust at all...except inside under the dash where condensation collected from the A/C system (I assume) The right side dash vent hole crumbled when I took the vent out. I had to fab the whole corner of the dash. That was a pain.
