I am just starting a resto. project on a 74 Charger and keep running into walls when it comes to finding parts like fenders or quarters.  Checked out a few sites, but they only seem to go up to a 72 'B' body. :brickwall:  If anybody else knows where to look it would be greatly appreciated.  I am trying to get a game plan together and am looking for prices at this point.  Thank you very much.

Fenders, Rockers, Outside and inside quarters, Maybe the trunk floor, rear window, trim.  You know, the usual.  I am no body man, So I will be having a friend of mine do the work in that department.  I still need to get the parts.  thank you, Connor

I got new Rear Quarters from Lake Erie Trading post on Ebay, they are 73-74.  They will be put on in April, they look like good pieces and are made in the US.  I got rockers from

http://www.autobodyspecialt.com/

But they were shite as the Brits say. Shit as we would say, the body shop put the one on the pass side and it was a poor fit, they had to split it to make it presentable.

The drivers floor pan from autobodyspec was a pretty good piece

except trunk floor, the rest is the same.

another diff is the quarter inner frame, where seatbelt shoulder retractor attachs, AND roof side beams, because diff location of shoulder belt bolt. But those are parts you'll never take care. Hard to get any kind of damage on those.

remembered another differences...

-attaching of gas tank straps. 73 hooks in front and bolts rear... 74 is reversed.

-rear bumper guards attachs different to frame rail too, with extra bracket on 73, being the lower guard barce is straight, for a while 74 is curved to match with frame rail.

I think thats all body related.

Kiltic,

I sent you a PM a few days ago.  I'm cutting up a '74 and I have quite a bit of sheet metal left.
