1971 Dodge Charger

This shot was taken when it first arrived.

Typical rust in the lower passenger side quarter panel.

We stripped the paint and rust off the car to see what was actually there.

Repairs were made to the inner panel of the lower passenger side quarter panel...

and coated with a rust inhibitor...

so that final repairs using this aftermarket patch panel could be made.

After finish welding and finish grinding, we shot primer on it to protect it from rust.

This is the area that needs to be cut out of the rear wheel opening on the driver side due to rust.

The inner structure is rusted and needs to be replaced as well.

This shot shows the inner structure repaired.

We custom fabricated the partial wheel arch that was needed...

and welded it in place.

After finish welding and finish grinding, we shot primer on it to protect it from rust.

This rusted area is in front of the rear wheel opening on the driver side.

After we cut the rusted area out, we found that the inner structure was rusted as well...

and needed to be repaired.

We then made a patch panel to repair the outside...

and installed it.

After fabricating some filler patches to match the original factory piece, finish welding and finish grinding, we shot primer on it.

The inside bottom corner of the driver side door after media blasting the rust away and shooting primer on it...

and repaired.

The outside bottom corner of the driver side door after media blasting the rust away and shooting primer on it...

and repaired.

The channel around the trunk opening had several rusted areas like this...

that we repaired.

Both fenders have rusted areas that must be repaired. This is on the top of the passenger fender after media blasting and primer...

cut out exposing the rust underneath...

cleaned up and a new patch fabricated...

welded in, ground down and primed.

The rust repairs are finished, the body parts are aligned...

and the customer took it home to finish.
