Using a tank type sand machine which has loads of power.

Again, I am struck by just how cool your rotisserie is.
Doing underneath mine took me weeks of scraping and painting by hand. You are going to be able to do a great job there will. Keep it up

I bought these for my front rails 13 gauge although the were a lot worse than your rear ones.

That came from Year one too very good quality. It's called a Deck Lid / Trunk Lid Filler Panel. The one for your Charger is part No: MX34

Hi Jerry,

Ask JPC he's probably done some in the UK!

As in, you need to find a full rear frame rail then set it up on a JiG and weld the sucker in LoL!
Not many people in Europe set up for that?

Hi Duncan, were you being serious about junking the rear frame rails???
Tragic if its true!
My Cali-Moparmate junked a great pair of 71 Charger rear frame rails.
He had saved them for me for my 71 Gtx, but I didn't need them and the cost of shipping was ridiculous!!!

No-one wants to restore rusty cars anymore, except for me, Fetish, Sinny, you, Ivor etc, etc, etc.......................
Well maybe a few Lol!!!

Bacman.

Yes but they didn't weld it in so have been over all welds.

Q. Back to paper on desk car i make my rear frame rail out of 3 pieces.
Should be stronger and look original any reason why not ??

Go for it.

Requires more metal and more welding but less bending and stronger.
And if you were attaching it to a non-flat surface, you can bend the base section to a perfect fit and profile the box sides to match!
