i personally would not ,
leave the glue for the modern cars  :Twocents:

some have used these modern body glues on these old style cars though ,  each to their own  :cheers: :coolgleamA: :2thumbs:

your prolly going to have to cut & splice weld the end caps to fit,  if its a second generation ,   they still fit crap i believe !!  , mine were crap  too , !  over 10 years ago ,  unless they have sorted it out  :yesnod:

Your definately not gonna be able to glue them you have to cut and splice the new AMD corners, only time I would use panel bonding adhesive if it were some POS foreign car that came in for panel replacement.
Sold my Charger unfortunately....never got it finished.

I used panel bond adhesive on mine along the bottom seam due to better corrosion resistance. Also glued the bottoms of the quarters and around the wheelhouse. Welded the other areas.

its the end caps that are made wrong  ,  well the ones i used were .
 aligned  the repop end caps  up to my original  lower rear quarters , before i cut the lower sections  off to replace , just to see what was going on , the end caps were too short on the qurter side by about 3/8"s of an inch :yesnod:

I agree with TT, try to fit the corners to the quarters, then you'll undoubtably have to cut them in order to fit to the valence.
