Cuda trunk gutters wanted
« on: February 22, 2007 - 07:04:32 AM »
I need the gutter sections with a piece of the dutchman and quarter for my 72 Cuda.  If you are cutting up a Cuda and the rear gutters don't have any rust in them, I buy them or trade you a set of brand new gutters from Goodmark. 

   I bought the same section off of a Challenger from a member here recently and it would save lots of time not having to fabricate a new upper quarter.

Curious as to why you want to trade Goodmark repops for used? Are they bad? Just wondering as I may have to replace some too! Thanks

I tore into my top quarters to put the new gutters in and realized that it's too hard for me to make that bend that goes into the gutter. I don't have a brake.  The bend goes up and around into the dutchman panel.  It would be easier for me to get a used top section with gutter already attached and simply butt weld it in at the top of the rear panel and at the top of the quarter.

Look closely at the edge of your trunk hole and you'll see the lip that i'm talking about.  Mine is too thin to save.
