1973 Cuda Wheel Well Trim
« on: June 13, 2017 - 12:40:57 AM »
Can someone advise what the width of the 1973 Cuda wheel well trim is?  Meaning how much of the exterior edge (outside of fender) is covered. I thought I read 5/8" somewhere, but cannot find that spec anymore.

Thanks in advance.

This is on a 73 Barracuda passenger front , not sure if it is the same for a Cuda.
5/16" vertical from bottom of trim edge , is that the measurement you were looking for ?

The trim should be fitted to the fenders/quarters BEFORE paint.  The fenders and quarters will probably need a little massaging to get the trim to fit decent.  Test fit ALL trim before paint.  :2cents:
