That was what my ? was for LOL

How about a pictoral on replacing a panel, or a floor pan?

With my new Demon project, I won't have the opportunity to get the pans done on my Duster, and am still trying to sell the Dart...

I've got plenty of pics from when I did the floor pan on the Valiant but no way is it good enough for a "how to".

What are some of the problematic areas on the various Mopars that are we should all look for when it comes to rust, rot, soft metal, rips/tears?

Mopars are notorious for rusting around the area where the top control arm bolts to the car. That area is set up almost as a catch can for road salt.

On B-bodies, paint always cracks, because the metal flexes, where the front fenders meet the area under the front windshield, usually by the edges.

On A-bodies, that problem area is on the rear roof support. On that "post" is where the paint usually cracks.
