How about placement on a 72 Chally? Mine has aftermarket fiberglass fenders.

Ditto on the Challenger measurements.   The crease is different on the Challenger fender than the Cuda.   Can someone with an original Challenger fender provide the correct measurements from the lower crease and in from the fender well?   Cheers ..... CHAPS

I have it on my 70 Challenger with Original Fenders. I'll get some pics and dimensions this weekend.

On my 70 Challenger, here are the dimensions using the center of the Pentastar where all 5 lines intersect as the reference point or Center:

From the upper crease line go Down 10 9/16" (Y dimension)

From the left fender edge (where the door gap is between fender and door), go to the Right 7 5/16" (X dimension)

From the right chrome fender trim (edge closest to the tire) go 6" to the Left. (X dimension)

From the bottom crease line, go Up approx 3 15/16" to 4" to the Pentastar. (Y dimension).
A tricky one to measure with the reflection, lighting, etc. I marked the crease line with a small piece of masking tape and checked it several times.

Check:

The sum of 7 5/16" plus 6" does equal the actual measurement of 13 5/16".

Hey .... many thanks!   That is a good reference to have.

Now if only everyone with an R/T would follow the specs for the proper location of this emblem.

Cheers folks ...

You're welcome! With a foot of snow it gives me something to do on the car! Just added the last dimension.
