The Dodge Challenger Message Board

Check out the poor job somone had done on the door sill replacment (I think most of you may know them as rockers?). They hacked off the old sill but left the old sill flanges attached to the body! This made the sill stick out about 3 to 4 mm from the rest of the body line!
I took the complete thing off and removed the original flanges. I also made a new top plate as the old one had rust pitting in it.

yea that does'nt suprise me,i will show a pic of how un even the rear seat area is from ma mopar her self,on our cuda,

looks like your sinking your teeth into it now great to see the progress keep it up
cheers ian

Going to pick up the fish from the media blaster as we/i type, cant wait

Yes, you are fully involved with the project now. Looks good. As a suggestion (you may have already considered) there are water drainage issues where the panel meets the body below.

look at the way the way ma mopar did the edge of the package shelf,just slammed it in there and tacked it place, ..................next

and the area in the trans tunnel, :disbelief this was probably a friday car and they were out of drugs and booze

Thanks for the comments guys.
This pannel had 3 drainage channels in it where the two bottem flanges meet. I will keep an eye on them for blockages once she is on the road, thanks for the tip.

I was watching a doco on the building of the new Challengers. They have heaps of quility checks these days...No way the factory workers would get away with your package shelf today Drew! Are you going to leave it how it is or unpick it and square it up?
