I found out years ago that if you take a passenger side front fender and set it up against the drivers side quarter the outline is perfect.  Here is a pic of my original Hemi Dart for comparison...

Exactly, the front fender opening is the template for the rear, but that's your starting point for a Hurst rendition, IMHO your better off installing the tire you plan on running, mock up your own template opening based on the front fender opening, then measure twice, cut once, rather than trim, trim, trim, then mount the tire of choice, and trim again

Ok but how are you lining it up to cut it??? Can anyone confirm this to be true? I just don't want the car to be butchered, I am trying to build a replica as close as possible.

That is the tough part, nobody seems to know exactly how it was done originally. I know several people that have used the O'reilly template and it looked fine. I have seen other templates for sale but do not know for sure where they come from.  If you look at a factory car, it is butchered.  If you are trying to get a factory looking car it will look like shinola.  My car has been butchered through the years worse than the factory did it.  I believe all the templates have been drawn off of factory cars, so that is why they are all a little different.

The issue with the Reilly template is that it requires you to remove to much from the front. If I were to follow the template, I would have to re-weld part of it back on because the template goes past the inner wheel well.
