The answer is no. Unless you ate allowed to weld body seams. And not to mention 64-66 have good pronounced body lines already. Not worth the time on a box car

Not worth the time on a box car I wouldn't either but I did like the fender bolting of the body lines on my 64 newyorker. Pulled them together made that metal tougher it seemed. I don't think creasing one helps on 60s mopars tho.

Absolutely bolt there inner to outer at least five 3/8 bolts and large washers front fenders and quarter panels. that really does help

Guys always lightly beat the quarters in on them when I watched all the old iron growing up around here. If they weren't allowed, they'd get a buddy to tap them lightly on the track to suck them in toward the trunk. Pretty much any old iron with a big trunk I see that the quarters blow out on bends really weird in the back.
Lot of good examples of the bonestock mayhem builds the last few years on youtube.

I appreciate all the advice, I will definitely be bolting the fenders together. Probably will not do any creasing, did that once and had the neighbors panties all in a knot. Lol. Here’s another pic. Admittedly I plagiarized this idea off a google image.

Are you switching anything out on front axle (A-arms, ball joints, tie rods, spindles ect/ect?) If you are, what’s the best/affordable parts?

Wayne they arent bad from factory, plate the lower control arms on the bottom side to stop it from twisting, weld rebar inside the grove around upper a arm or if allowed to weld you can stiffen it fully. Ball joints after market QA1 or moog weld ins are really nice. Tie rods either sleeve them or aftermarket for sure or just replace with new ends. and run a forgiving wheel package and grease them sidewalls

I always roll it an bolt it not a lot just a roll or two So just make a cut and fold it up into the wheel well? I have always cut them below the point I bolt. It usually is just above the tire height. I’m thinking that’s too much? Suggestions welcome. If you have some pics that would be cool. Thanks.
