Knowing you as well as I do, I am of the opinion that doing such a thing would not have been the smart thing to do. After reading the rulebook I can not see that the fenders in question were illegal in any way.I think they did you a favor. I pity the competition! Jim
I believe it is a FWD hater. There are a few out there.
If they bitch about my roof rack it's a factory option I'll gladly take it off if I can cover the holes with someones skin.
What really bothers me is "The Letter" was cc'ed to every division director and tech.
I have never bent a rule to gain an advantage. Even in the 70's we never acid dipped any parts, The cars were light the way they were Greg X can attest to that his belly was all over our fenders and hood (71 Charger was real light but we didn't do it).
If they would have just said Artie please change them and left it at that I would not be upset.

Here is a link to the same fenders I had.
