69 Daytona Fender Question

[Bug shield C500]

Simple questions guys. Do original Daytona Fenders have the 70 mark lights welded up or did they not every have the marker light stamped in? Pictures if anyone has them would be great?
Thanks everyone.

I think they were welded up....that's how I did mine....too late for pics from me....fenders already on the car....

I could be wrong

   In the literature that I have seen 3412650-1 (daytona fender assy) is the "same as 2949950-1 except that side marker has been ommitted".  However, in the same document 3417094-5 is shown in the remark column next to above daytona fenders. I think these are the part #'s for 70 skins w/o marker hole. An interesting note is that the literature also shows that the upper closure panel, splash panel & ext., yoke bracket and wheel opening flange brace (almost everything inside the fender except the rear brace!) are welded to the above skin by "Vendor". What Vendor? Creative then cut the top hole & installed screen and modified the lower edge to mate up to the daytona valence

Slightly off topic, but referencing the above here is an example of a Superbird fender skin.  Although it has a marker lamp hole, it is otherwise similar to the description of a Daytona fender skin.   It has none of the other production inner pieces other than the rear brace.   This NOS fender came from Nichels Engineering.

To further muddy the waters, 287970's original fenders (which are still with the car) had the indentation where the '70 Charger marker lights would have gone, but it did not appear that the actual hole was ever cut out.  If the hole was cut out, it had a flawless patch done.  If/when the paint is removed from that fender, you'd be able to see whether the hole was patched up or not - but the bumpout is definitely visible looking from inside the fenderwell.

All of the other original Daytonas I've looked at had no visible evidence of marker holes, but I am interested in looking at maxwellwedge's DocTona (414619) to see what it has.

Once again gene beat me to it. Man I need to get home quicker.

I was also thinking that there was paperwork to state the the fenders for the Daytona's were ordered without the marker holes stamped in them. However having seen the Reeker car, I wonder if there were any more that have the same effect.

sounds like it could have come two ways. Nothing at all or the marker light depression but not cut out?

I can remember the fenders on my old wing car were as smooth as a babys ass on the back side.
