There was a shortage on the glass fenders on the later cars I believe, & when they came available again, they came in blue gel coat.
As far as the modified steering arms,, the only car I've seen with them is the Joe Jill Speedwin Automotive car. When I purchased the Landy 4 spd. car from Steve O'Neil in 96, there was a new set of these things in the trunk, but not on the car. Not sure how many were actually installed by Hurst, before they let the cars go. I thought these were an after thought because of the poor steering geometry due to the K members being spaced 1/2". Only those "in the know" got them. ------- Any Input??????

Hello Paul,those steering arms that were in trunk of Dart came from Steve Segal,he owned the car after Ron Murtha.When I owned the car I was digging for parts/history from earlier owners of car,that is how I had them,not sure if they were ever on car or not ,try Steve Segal for more info? Later, SteveO
