I HAVE A 1970 CHALLENGER TA CAR I AM STARTING TO RESTORE. IN THE BOOKS I HAVE THEY STATE THE TA USED FENDERS WITH A DIFFERENT RADIUS THAN OTHER CHALLENGERS. WHERE DO I GO TO FIND OUT THE CORRECT RADIUS. ANY INFO SOURCE ON THE TA WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. ROGER

What they did is "rolled" the 1/2" or so edge up. The did this basically from the 10 to 2 position. My friends AAR is the exact same way and are NOS fenders.
At the factory, they used a hand held jig/gage that set in the wheel opening molding edge. There was an open part of the jig which was the marked area that they used a mallet/hammer to roll the edge over. Thus, allowing tire clearance.
Also known as the Hemi Fender.
Please don't use all capitals, it means your yelling.

Like others have stated, the only difference is the fender lip is rolled near the top for about 6" someone wil have pictures....
With the lip rolled, are you still able to use the wheel lip mouldings? I thought I had seen T/A's with the mouldings installed.

Not much to tell yet. I have had it decoded and planing on registering it. It has been media blasted and is back home ready to go on the rotisserie. It is about 80% complete. All major componets except hood body wise. motor tranny and rear end are there. Interior is rough. Have started buying replacements for the missing and unuseable parts. Will send the motor to the machine shop while I do the body. Hope my pockets are deep enough. One thing I learned is if you want to play you have to pay. Will probable have to sell off some of my other mopar. I want to thank all you that welcomed me and for the info that you provided. roger

If you are using Internet Explorer, you can enlarge the text for better viewing. Click on "View" at the top page and go to Text Size and select the text size that suits you. Firefox probably has the same feature.
Not everyone is blessed with good eyesight.
Welcome to the board.
It looks like this doesn't work in Moparts, but it does on most websites.

Another way to enlarge the text in either Internet Explorer or Firefox, is to hold down your ctrl (control) key and tap the "+" key. Ctrl and "-" will reduce the size. Saves me from pulling out the reading glasses

If your doing a T/A you need to get a copy of Barry Washington CD. It is a very in depth look at a very low milage T/A. The info in this CD is PRICELESS!!
....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!
