Your question is not 100% clear but here goes nothing...
If you are looking for the sheetmetal quarter panel extension they are not in reproduction. You can either fabricate your own or source southern rust free examples from a parts car.
If you are looking for a gasket type material use seam sealer which is available anywhere parts stores cater to bodyshops. Comes in a tube for caulking guns or in quart tins to brush on.
Hope this helps.

Thank You for the tip! I an not looking for the extension itself. Just the tiny seal I have seen they have been used on other Mopars from the sixties and up. I am not sure if it was used on the Fury 1970-71 models. Maybe they used seam sealer on them....
Agree on the source for a good, used quarter panel extension. Are your's completely damaged or just pitted? They might be repairable if not completely broken or deformed?
Gasket? Might be able to find some soft/firm/hard paintable plastic or possibly some harder paper gasket material and cut to fit. First, though, you can use the referenced seam sealer to put a skim coat all over the material, let it dry completely, and then install as normal. That would seal the material from moisture intrusion which could compromise the whole gasket over time. Not sure what the factory used, but it had to be both paintable and durable in order to last as well as it did. Whether on B-bodies, C-bodies, or otherwise.
Once, I saw a nice GTX where the right had extension had been blended into the quarter panel. Looked kind of nice, until you looked at the other side that was normal.
No seam sealer was used in place of those gaskets. Seal seam was used to seal two larger sheet metal panels after they were spot welded together. Not that you might used it in this instance in place of the gasket, just not done that way at the factory prior to paint.
What you might do is to make a gasket of a sheet of dried seam sealer? It might take some finesse to do, but it might be possible to put a thin coat of the material on a sheet of aluminum foil, with a consistent thickness. After it fully cures, then cut to shape with a sharp knife and remove it from the foil. Then install on the vehicle and proceed with paint?
Just some thoughts,

Seam sealer is what they used on a moving assembly line.
Quick, easy and usually sloppy.
When I restored my car I removed all of the old crusty seam sealer and did new.

It seams like every other car have a gasket there, except the 69-up Fury.
Look at this site: Moparshop

Check with Jim at DMT Detroit Muscle Technologies, LLC Mopar & AMC muscle car restoration gaskets
If they don't have them they might be interested in doing them.
They did the ones for the 69 Polara from the samples I sent them.

I have been in contact with him. He said he don't know if it is original with gasket on the 1970 Fury. What kind of material do they use in your gasket? How tick is it?

I did not see them listed in the 70/71 Parts Book (12-01-107)
They are a PVC type of plastic (like the originals) and are about 1/16" thick
We did not use them on my 69 CHP car and went with a tighter gap with direct metal to metal.
Being plastic they do little to nothing for sealing, the fact that they had them in the front as well showed they were not for sealing.
Not sure the purpose, maybe anti-rattle or chaffing or maybe to close the gap on imperfect parts. The use of foam seals on other parts like marker lights show if sealing was the goal they'd use foam.

I think they are strictly for protection of the paint on the quarters and fenders during assembly. That's why they aren't in the parts book. No part number, and never available from Chrysler parts.

My bad I was thinking of a different part.

I agree on them being for paint protection but they are in the parts book (69) section 12-01-107 and not listed in 70

I could swear that I've seen those gaskets on post-'69 cars, and they are nowhere to be found in any of my collision books. That's what I based my theory on. I'll be parting out a whole bunch of cars coming up in the near future, so I'll get a chance to see if I'm dreaming or if they did use the gaskets on post-'69 cars. I've got a '70, '71, and two '72's that need to come apart. Scrap prices are up a little bit, so now's the time to do it. Just need the rest of this snow to melt.
