It almost appears to be setting lower in the first two pics than the last one you posted. Maybe just the vantage point. So I'm wondering if I could pull off that 17x9.5" wheel with 5.5BS on my 72 car? So no tire rubbing anywhere with your setup?

The driver side rear rubs very slightly on big bumps in the road, but I have been meaning to get the fender rolled ever so slightly to fix that.

Where did you get the dash guage and new dash. I know it said rocky mountain but I tried to google and could not find.

Sweet car, I may ditch the idea of a barracuda and go with a chally if I can get it to look anything like that. Wish I had the stash! :2thumbs:

www.rockymountaindashes.com  check them out.  I filled it with Autometer Phantom gauges, and replaced the whole dash with a new one instead of the cap that was on it.

Assume its a stock rear end, do you think the rear disc setup sits further outboard and allows you to run more backspace than stock?

You know I think it may, but let me take a closer look and see what I can figure out.  The original builder took a lot of time getting the frame set just right in order for the stance to be how he wanted it.

I get that question alot, and to be completely honest, the previous owner put that on.  I have talked to some people and think he either did a custom one himself, or it is from a camaro.  I hope he did a custom one, because having a chevy part on a mopar is a sin.  I have tried contacting him after I bought the car with no luck.  After the car appeared in the magazine I think he had some sellers remorse.   ;D

The wheels are Centerline Daggers, 17X8 in the front, 17X9.5 in the back.  225/50 tires in front, 275/50 in the back.  4.5 and 5.5 back spacing.  Thanks for the comments..

Sorry to bother you but I noticed you are running the exact same rear wheel/tire combo I plan to use....haven't seen anyone else with this combo.  You said that the rear suspension is stock but you had to roll lip a little bit to clear?  How much room do you have on the inside?  I'm afraid to pull the trigger on the wheel purchase....but seeing your car definately helps in knowing it will work.
