'71 Demon Pro Street/Touring
I had a shop do the work for me, but no is the answer to your questions. Those remain in the factory location, the wheel well has some material sectioned in so it now becomes as wide as the edge of body to the frame rail. The bracket on the inner portion of the wheel well gets cut and rewelded after sectioning is complete (see where I circled red, a before and after shot). Below is a link to the build that was somewhat of an inspiration for mine, there are lots of pics showing their minitub as well.
