Maybe I am just really bad at finding things, but does anyone know where I can purchase a new roof skin for my charger? I tried AMD but of course they don't have anything. Year One is the same way. Any help would be appreciated.

They're not being repopped so you need to find one at a salvage yard.  I found a classic mopar yard about 40 miles away and went and hacked the roof off a 73 Satellite.  Any 71-74 B-body should fit, just watch the different window options.

You would think that with how popular these cars are someone would make them again. Hell the guy at stephens performance said he would chop a "good used one" off of a car for me for $1500. I would rig myself up a shit looking roof repair before I spend that kind of money for a roof.

Get in touch with Paul (73ChargerSe) he might have one, very reasonable and great parts.

any 71/74 B body 2 doors WILL fit, Plymouth or Dodge. On these years the roof skin is just the top section, never gets into the quarter glass section

well first, didn't exist 73 R/Ts LOL... at least not in USA :P

second... that roof looks like has been wrongly cut at C pillar area, so as a complete piece, dunno if will work.

Maybe is a pic angle deal, but....

as I told depending on where and how was removed from car on rear section from Quarter panel, can or not be used as a full replacement skin or just a patch skin.

to me, it looks was badly cut there
