Mopar C Body 69-73 AC Heater Box Rebuild Restoration Seal Gasket Kit

No easy fix for that. That's corrosion on the aluminum surface where the clearcoat wore off. Cheap way, "quick" fix would be to strip clear coat and paint off, gently smooth down and paint silver or gun metal. Most cities will have a shop or two that specializes in wheel repair. They can throw...

Lets hope for the best. Those 4 door hardtop pillars are incredibly sturdy, it might need a tweek once the door is off.

Damn, I feel for you. I'm really sorry to see and read what's happened to your very nice original car. That's 100% on the driver. With that much weight he wouldn't have to be going very fast at all, but why even get so close? Forget about cameras, they've only been around for a decade or so...

Looking at your interior, that appears to be the only faux wood panel. I think it would look best without it, but that's just my opinion. Do you know how it's held on? If it's just two way tape it could be added anytime. I have a feeling there maybe a couple of holes for studs. My '71 Monaco...

A good upholsterer should be able to fix that cover up as long as you're ok with it looking not 100% stock. The beading is shot, so most of the stitching will need to be cut and the beading replaced with new beading. The missing chunk could have a new small strip of beading that creates a...

Those are the fender extensions, they're fiberglass. That one is chipped up pretty bad, easy fix. The quarter panel definitely has some mud in it.

Vacuum Advance Mechanism

It's the Monacuda! Why can't people leave well enough alone? 2:61 rear gears? Interior looks pretty nice, and is that a false fuel cap directly above the actual fuel cap?

Welcome!

I can't say why this product exists. I posted it because it applied to the original posters question, not because I endorse it. I first learned of this companies products five or six years ago on this forum. In that time I've never heard or seen of anyone buying or using it.

Only speculating here, but that looks like a fairly professional conversion. I've read of companies in the states, during this era and earlier that made single cab trucks into four door trucks. Perhaps this was another of their offerings. The more I look at it, the more I get an International...

Interesting, thanks for that photo. Many years ago a member of this site posted a similar shot, but of a C body and I seem to recall the channel being L shaped, I could be wrong. The C body channel is twice the thickness of the A body one, that much I'm sure of. And I agree with Samplingman...

Convertibles have a heavy 3/8" or 1/2" thick steel L channel inside of the sheet metal rocker running the full length. It's there to strengthen the body being a unibody convertible. There's alot of structural integrity in a steel roof.

Reinforced rockers are probably worth saving too.
