can I cut and weld in a 1973/74 charger roof panel onto a 1972 charger?  I'm not sure if the bdy lines are the same.

Thanks

Roof itself goes between driprail and C pillar. If you find the factory welding points, will be able to remove the lead and drill the welding points, and remove the skin as a complete piece without cut really... nothing to do with quarter. Is the same piece I think even for 2 doors Plymouths from 71 to 74s

Is a job what needs patiente but the best way to do it.

Harlow ( a member here ) made it on his former 68 ( or 69 ) Satellite. Similar job and panel extension than 3rd gens

the 3rd gens roof don't get that low at C pillar... they run from drip rail height on a straight line up to rear glass. When you remove the rear glass will find the overlap area on quarter and roof skins
