Can someone help identify which molding was used on this Dart after the opening was modified? Thanks!
Dart rear wheel opening molding?

Duster Demon tweaked to fit in place. They would have the correct indent for the body line on the front of the quarter. The new AMD molding is soft and easily pliable
Duster/Scamp front wheel well trim with the back leg angled back??? The duster front wheel well has a lot "squarer" corners than the Dart front wheel wells
Probably these polished aluminum mouldings.
Used these to fabricate new rear wheel opening mouldings for a 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T that were no longer available. They had good length to them.
They are soft compared to stainless steel mouldings.
Took a 3/4" stock of plywood and duplicated the wheel opening on to it.
Then gradually and carefully started to shape the moulding by hand to fit the wood opening. Then carefully screwing the moulding to the plywood opening.
Then carefully transfer the preshaped mouldings to the car rear quarters. There was an expensive paint job there so had to protected it with masking tape for the final fitting and mounting with the screws.
Have to be super careful bending and fitting as it is easy to kink. Also the polished finish will spider web on you if the radius is bent too tight. Think it is anodized aluminum.

The front Duster or scamp have the bend for the body line indent to high. The rear will fit the location of that indent on the rear of a dart moved up. If you raise the wheel well opening you don't raise the line. Even if you reverse the front the indent is to high.

Thank you all! I thought it was modified somehow but wasnt sure. I actually thought it was off 68-70 charger but guess not.
