The old Ebody we sold to Bagwell went thru many front fenders. As a 70 it had no louvers but as a 71 it had to have them so we cut holes in and stuck the louvers in. No good once it was realized they were not recessed like factory so new 71 fenders went on. The following is from a magazine article. Mopar Action 12/12. Won't write the hole thing but Earwood says after bombing the SS/EA record they moved the car to a 70 for SS/DA. With the expensive paint job Bagwell had they didn't want to change fenders so Terry had large "1973 National Super Stock Champion" decals made and put over the holes. World Finals Earwood was protested and Marty Barrett asked terry if he pushed a pencil on the decals would it go thru. Terry said yes and Marty asked " you know whose mistake this was?" to which Terry responded "mine". Marty said "It's my mistake-not yours-because I didn't catch it." Marty let him finish the race. Always liked Marty.
Sorry kind of off topic but just shows how tight tech was.
