Easy fix. Unlike the dumb ass on the riding mower to come look at my car.
He gets to pay..... I shouldn’t have drove the cuda to meet my wife buying
plants. It happens.

Ok...made me feel better not to look at it until I take it in next week. Geese!! Only bandaid I had in the shop that fit.

My bad on posting this on your thread. Should have been in general. I’d delete it if I knew how.

I know that with the current stay at home rules driving should also be limited. But after nearly a month of this **** this was essential driving.

I am learning about my 71 383 Cuda and I know my car has torque boxes on the front frame rails but I don't see them on your Challenger. Is this another difference between the cars other than the shorter wheel base?

No clue. You have any pictures ?

Compare your post #19 to this pic of my '71 R/T. It is kinda hard to see, but there is a horizontal reinforcing plate (lower left circled in red) welded in underneath that vertical plate.
Did you ever post up a pic of your fender tag?
Now that I look closer at yours, that plate might be there.
