73 74 roadrunner wheel well trim

[plymouthman]

It's their anyone out their who has spent the time measuring the wheel openings on 73 74 roadrunner's and possibly found that the wheel well trim from another vehicle fit. Either direct bolt on our with modification to either the trim or the wheel well's ? I really like the look of the trim but finding nos trim isn't happening.

I was lucky to find a complete set, but I've seen lot of pics of junkyard cars that have a couple of pieces on them. I would suggest calling around to old car junkyards and getting what they have. You'll likely have to buy from two or three places to get a set, but the parts are out there.

I to like Bruzilla was lucky and found an NOS set about 4 years ago, and now usable ones are almost impossible to find. I would suggest the same, try salvage yards and ebay to find them. As far as I know reproductions are not made and trim from other cars/years don't fit.

Bone yards are usually picked over for those parts already any around here. And I've already spent a whole lot of time on the phone calling bone yards. Well just have to improvise

Here is a set on ebay!

Yeah I'm watching it , but their ate a few good dents in that set. Would most likely cost a small fortune to get those re done

If you have an experienced restorer it can get expensive, or you could learn to do it yourself as I did on some of my trim parts. The wheel trim however is pretty thin, so you would need a small set of hammer and dolly to work on that as it would be easy to go to far and actually split the aluminum. Its not the worst set I have seen.

You would have to be damn lucky to find a set at a junkyard that's local. I would suggest calling around to the ones who advertise Mopar parts. Like I said, I see lots of cars at these places that are missing pieces of this trim and it's harder to sell a couple of pieces than a whole set so they are usually willing to bargain.
