Group,

I need your feedback based on experience. Please see the attached picture and tell me if this much sheet metal rust around the back window can be repaired. Or.......is it a waste of time?

Thanks,

Ryan

Absolutly.
Looks like you would want to replace the entire panel behind the rear window. It's available from AMD.
The sail panel is also repairable. You maybe able to find a good used piece. Would hate to have to buy a full quarter just for the sail panel.

What's the rest of the quarter panel look like?

Never mind the quarter panel. What's the rest of the car look like :o
Man, that is painful to look at. I agree with Ryan, no way to repair, buy some fresh replacement metal. I'm working on a 68 right now. Had a few small rust areas. By the time you cut the bad metal back to some solid metal the hole is 3x bigger.

The inside is completely rusted out. It will need new quarters, floor boards, sails, and frame.

The inner structure (pinchweld area) sheetmetal is not available through any company, you would have to find those pieces off a donor or fab them, I had to make the lower inner corner pieces for mine and mine did not look anywhere as near as bad as that.
Sold my Charger unfortunately....never got it finished.
