So the fenders were junk on my 72’, and I was able to source a pair of real nice 73’ fenders cheap. I was aware of the 73’ fenders needed to be notched for the 72’ bumper so I marked them out based on the dimensions of the original fenders. Problem is I left them out in the weather too long and my marks are gone, as are the original fenders. I did a search and while there is info, I couldn’t see any posts with the notch dimensions. Can anyone help with those dimensions?
Maybe this will help. Check out Fender Notch. Don't know about a '73 Fender but the '74 fender is different around the headlight than the 70-72. On a side note...the 75 fender is also different than the '74 fender behind the headlight including the bucket.
the 73 fenders I notched appeared identical to the 72 fender I used as a pattern, except the 73 weren't notched.
Not sure why '73 fenders would need to be notched. They should be the same as '70-'72. The '74-'77 Mavericks had the big bumpers and no valance. Craig, where are you??...
Yes, I know your car is a 1973. I looked through all my pictures and I could not find a picture if a 1973 front fender.
I converted my 77 to early model bumpers. I left the fenders as is and notched the rock guard instead. No one has ever noticed or commented on it being wrong or looking bad.
Member Part Time, if you can, could you please post pictures of your notched rock guard ? Thanks, Tim
