    Got some of the cars out last weekend
    « on: April 26, 2008 - 07:45:15 PM »
    Last weekend was Kool April Nites in Redding so after we got the e bodies out and cleaned we decided to shoot some pics at the house. The blue Challenger and 'cuda are mine and the red Challenger is my brother's.

    Good eye. Yeah that is my Dad's next project. It is a 70 Swinger with a slant six. We are going to drop a small block in it and paint it plum crazy (may put a 4 speed in it as well, that is in the air right now). If you look real hard you can see my plum crazy Challenger in the tent behind the dart (just kidding you can't see the car, but it is in there). It needs a full resto that's why its not in a garage.

    Thanks,  I have the same wheels but the back tires are 265/50/15 and are rubbing pretty good on the edge of the fender.

    That's why I went with 255 60 R 15's on my blue Challenger. I had the 275's but if I had a full tank of gas the tires rubbed and forget it if there was a person in the back seat.

    I just compared the sizes on the tire calculator and your brothers are still a little wider and definately taller.  I wonder if my backspacing isn't right.  Do his rub at all?

    No, but he also has Super Stock Springs on his car, raising it in the rear while I have hemi springs.
