can't shake the mopar bug in me...

I have seen a separate fender tag with "H E M I F E N D E R" stamped on it, indicating a rolled lip fender and 15 inch rims.

car has the U82 E60 15 wide oval code, and w21 ralley wheel code. core support is perfect (partial vin on one side, date code on other).
Interesting thread on moparts that was posted, you cant beat info from a guy that actually did the rolling of the lips. car is a feb 1 car, so its before the march cutoff for hand rolling at creative industries described in that thread. The wheel lip molding is off the car and I need to look at that for clues if it follows the cutting described in that thread.

None the less, its just interesting to learn about things like this. I mainly care to have original sheetmetal on a car, and thats the goal to find out.

Great car! the wheel lips on my original sheet metal '70 hemi are rolled, but not as much as the ones in your picture.

Hi, it was posted a little earlier by another member in this thread.
When you read it, search for 'mike_s' and he is the guy that rolled the fenders on one side of the cars, for about 5 months. What I find cool, is that he came out of the woodwork in 2010 if I look at that post. He reversed a lot of assumptions about the hemi fender by other experts, even one had to post a retraction. Its fun to read barry washington testing some theories against him.

I own a third week of march built ta challenger with rolled lip fenders. But the roll is not that long. Also could a car with rolled lip also have wheel well moldings????

I think the answer to that is in this thread below posted earlier by tracker:
The roll length on the 70 convert is 6&quot; on the passenger side (sounds closer to being correct) and maybe 8&quot; on the drivers side (yep, not sure if this is correct or not). Your car should have the factory stamped fenders because its in march.
