Or when they were raced in 1969 season and up when they went to 30" diameter tires. As the rules and technology changed the class chaged to larger diameter tires. So the front edge of the rear fender lip had to be cut out to fit the bigger tires. That was not neccessary in 1968 when the cars came from Hurst.

I have a factory Hemi Dart and was looking at it one day and the opening looked familiar. I took an opposite side front fender, turned it around, and put it up next to the quarter and the opening matched it! The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it. JB Rhinehart, Realist A-Body's RULE!

After the cut, there will be a gap between the inner quarter wheel house and the outer quarter in places. You need the extra material from the outer quarter to fold over to bridge the gap.
