How were the 68 SS B'Cuda rear wheel wells modified?

[Kevin Jonker]

Were they just radiused? DId they put in wheel tubs? Did they move the springs inboard at all or did they just have the tire sticking out some since it was just for the drag strip?

The ones on my '68 Dart were just radiused. No spring offset, no tubs, nothing fancy. Things were a lot easier back then, you just did what you had to do to make it work.

It seems like the tires on the SS Darts stuck out even farther than the B'Cudas correct?

I was just looking at an old pic of ronnie sox and their ss B'Cuda and their is an awful big tire on that car.

About 4 inches or so with a 14 1/2" wide tire.

with the darts you have to do the SS opening and beat in (correct from hurst) /tub the wheel wells to fit a 30/12.5" tire (just what we run)

as far as i know the cudas had no mods other than inboard spring kits...

P.S. (to above) which cuda is that?? is that the original car or our clone (owned by bill sefton??)

Some of those 68 SS B"Cudas had to of had the rear wheelwells trimmed. They are not the same as stock I don't beleive. You can see where the indentation around the lip disappears.
