Has anyone started reproducing these for a cuda yet? Exact fit?

I bought a set off of Auto Body Specialists last summer for 67-69 a body. They said they would work with slight modifications. I can't see how they would work without looking bad.


Love them 68 MOPARS! GTS 340 auto, Charger R/T 440 4-speed, Superbee 383 auto, GTX 440 auto, D100 (new front frame 5.7 hemi - in process), Formula S 340 4-Speed A/C (it's green), 383 auto Roadrunner (maybe a hemi - waiting) and a 68 W200 Power Wagon. Drivers: 07 Cummins and 14 Ecodiesel 4x4.

Nope. I also bought the dart ones and personally think the suggestion that they will work is full of bunk. They are not even the right width in the trunk area. At least it is a start but they will require a lot of modification. You would think these would be repopped. My guess is at least 100k cars were built(don't have the numbers on hand) and this is a part that needs to be replaced on almost every car. But wait, I guess they would rather make another grill for a high seller like the 68RR.

If the flat part of the trunk extention is in good shape and it's the vertical piece that needs replacing you can buy a trunk extention for a 68 Dart but the back radius will need to be slightly modified but not a big deal. I did this on my 68 fastback and it worked great. However, it will not work if you need to replace the entire extention.
