  not to mention the fact the vinal top was a cover up for creatives quicky job so i'm sure alot of it was sloppy in the first place 

I could have swore Superbirds were built at a Chrysler assembly plant.. The specialty parts were constructed over at Creative, but put together by Chrysler employees.... But, you are correct in that the finish to those areas didn't get a lot of attention....

In my opinion , no other mopar body has anywhere near the  sculpted lines of the charger ! Almost all of the other body's where flat sided . Don't get me wrong , love them all , just the charger is by far the most best looking car ever built by Chrysler

we did the top on the other 'bird a couple years ago, and it was indeed a nightmare of bondotastic proportions.  it took me hours to wire wheel and scotchbrite disc it all out.  chrysler did the top work at lynch, as far as adding the filler and plug.  they welded them in and put plastisol (sp?) on before the car was painted.  plastisol bakes down during the curing process.  it also sinks after a couple decades... 

MOST of the work was done at lynch, including the installation of the hoods, fenders, plugs, trunk lid travel limiters, wing washers, etc.  I can't remember if creative or clearpointe final did the nose installs, painted the chin spoilers, installed the wing and a pillar moldings and other stupid stuff.  i don't know WHY i can't remember, but I must be tired...

here are some topless pics:
