67-69 Barracuda’s don’t have a fender stabilizing rod in front of the tire bottom of front fender lip. Mopars with front valences typically don’t get those. Because the valence supports the fender.
67-69 darts, Duster’s, 73-up Dart sports, Valiants, 73-Darts all don’t have front lower valences.
I wouldn’t get too alarmed over side to side difference in clearance he showed in those pictures. Especially if the cars not aligned yet.
Reason is, theres so many variables that can cause that. Mostly a common fender bender.
And, if the car is not aligned yet, you really have to attempt that and ask for as much caster as possible. Go to a place that aligns older cars.
Those older aftermarket one piece rims typically push the tire out compared to stock rims. That really kills things.
Things that could move the tires back:
1) Offset upper control arm bushings Moog 7103 installed for most caster. If you have stock UCA’s and non offset bushings currently. This will push the UCA back.
2) One poly strut rod bushing per side In rear position. Thicker than rubber bushing and will push the LCA back. If you put a poly bushing in front position you may not be able to get the safety cotter pin installed.
2a) OR adjustable lower strut rods
3) As much caster as possible
4) same width rims with 1/2” or greater backspace than now.
IMHO, I’d do 1-3 first if you really like those rims.
