New member in Texas
« on: February 05, 2009 - 03:28:51 PM »
It's great to be back in a Challenger. I just bought a 74 Challenger about three weeks ago. I previously owned a 74' for 17 years but had to sell about 4 years ago. That was increadibly tough.
Now I'm back in and very happy about it. I'm doing some elect work,wheels and tires right now.
Does anyone know where I can find or is anyone selling the old  aluminum e.t./ansen slot wheels?
I have two 14x7 1/2 e.t.'s now and can't seem to find any more. Would like 15" for the rear. Thanks.
It's great to be around MOPAR people again.

Welcome to the website!  This is a great place to get any sort of advice/information you may need.  Warning - it is highly addictive!

Where in Texas are you? If you are close to Fort Worth - the Cowtown Mopar Club has a great bunch of guys & gals in it.  We meet 5pm on the third Sunday of every month at Billy Bob's in the Stockyards.

Welcome Rob,  :swaying: :wave:
Texas is sounding better and better to me all the time. Somewhere the Chally doesn't have to hibernate 5 months out of the year and then another month fixing all of the Sh#t that didn't wake back up. :crying:
Anyway, glad to see another new member. :cheers:
