Wecome to Fabo!

I have done both, without dimensions.

Don't have a clue where you would ever find them. I just went by the pictures (on my Formula S fastback) that came with graphics on my stripes, since I didn't paint them on. I think you could do the same with painting.

As far as the cutouts go, the exhaust exits on the inside of the frame rail, on both sides. The hanger helps offset it almost to the center of the frame rail. So that is what I used to cut mine out.

Hope this helps. My camera won't zoom in very well!
These are of the door stripe and the front fender. I have already stripped the body to bare metal so the 1/4 no longer is there. This is probably the worst tape measure I could find Lol!

Here is a couple shots of my AMD rear bodypanel,
Just flip the tape for opposite side!

I do the same here in South Texas. My tower pc crashed and lost all of my photos of prior cars. I also do a bit of custom paint too! Last MoPar I did was a 69 Superbee Chassis car and my truck. Nice piece! Here are a few of ones I have done.

With what I just did with my hood I would gladly pay to have it straight. Body work is part art and part voodo and black magic!

I had 110 hours in the Superbee at $75 "plus" paint time! Cleared a bit over $12,000 and the owner didn't bat an eye! He brought the Golfcart the following weekend and got it done by Sunday. I do one job at a time in spare time and promise "no" delivery date. Results speak for itself and end product makes people happy. All of my work is spread by word-of-mouth.

Had over 80 hours in my Ram. Just prep time.

My Falcon was a 1 day quicky. Buzzed it down Friday morning, sealed it then applied the stripes and shot the Furd Sonic blue to it. A friend showed up with his Sata Friday afternoon and we tagteamed the Clear and it was at the track the very next day. Thats my big head in the drivers seat!

I call myself Mr. Finesse. Eyesight is not much good! The eyes in my hands say it all. The older folks understand but the youngn's have no clue. NO pun intended. Many years of experience to achieve great result. Of course you must LOVE what you do too! NO BONDO here baby! Couldn't do it without my EAGLE II. Love that machine!
 
Wow, wish I had known that AMD made that rear body panel for these cars. I spent a lot of hours, making a cut off rear piece work on my car. I paid a lot for it, including shipping, and had a lot of work after I got it.

AMD has nice Quality sheetmetal! They just don't have enough yet for the 67-9 Barracuda's yet. Got a bunch for them damn Darts and Dusters tho!! I guess cause they are everywhere and were produced for a while. Got mine for less than $300 shipped! They call it a rear valance?????
