Just had them scanned for your viewing pleasure.
Summer of 1973 or 1974 a friend was going to the US Nationals and my older brother asked if a few photos could be taken of the quarter panels of a few original Hurst prepped Hemi Darts. The white Dart appears to be an original from the Hurst facility. Do not know what to think of the "Hurley Automotive" Dart as the forward edge of the wheel opening has a curved shape to it.
Original photos by Joe Archer from Omaha, Nebraska.

Looks like the leading edge rear wheel opening on the Hurley car retains the original Hurst profile while the white car has the common modification of trimming the fender/rocker to gain more tire clearance once you go to taller/high growth slicks. The only other way was to move the diff back on the leaf spring perches.
