Hemi Fender Tags

[Stefano]

Not an expert, just an enthusiast on the Mopar issues and they have proven to do many different things with their cars.

I was always under the impression that you had to get 15" wheels with a Hemi and due to the extra weight and tall tires all were to receive the rolled Fender Lips. What is the case for T/As and 6 PACs?

Many of the restored cars might have original Mopar sheet metal/fenders but that doesn't mean the fenders are original to the car? I don't see how anyone (Galen) could make that claim without having pictures or an original unrestored car.

I've got a 71 340 Challenger convertible and a 71 hemi Challenger, both have 15" wheels.

Do they both have rolled fender lips and is this designated on the trim tag or build sheet?

The basis of my comment is that my 70 Hemicuda, which is on 15" wheels, does not have the rolled fenders.(i think) However my comment on the originality of the fenders is based not on replacement metal but that i believe i still have the factory welds inplace for the whole car. In other words those that have seen and or worked on this car have said that it has all its born with metal.?
It is going to take me a little while to get answers.

As far as Galen goes, i would guess he has pictures and has seen quite a few unrestored original cars. And the comment that i attribute to him is more about some hemicudas, not having the hemi tag.
since mine did not get a tag, maybe mine escaped the "keen eyes of the line workers" without the tag and therefore did not get the rolled fenders?????

Or perhaps yours has the rolled lips on the wheel openings but just didn't get the tag

I don;t think i have the rolled lips. I have to talk to the e-body expert who looked at the car in passing.
I'll make a post when i get all the info.
