    Finally got 'em in there. It's a tight fit, but I'm really happy with how it turned out. The pics aren't the best. I'll try to get some better shots if the weather ever clears up.

    looks great but,,what happens to the wheel lips/quarters when u go thru a curb or bumps in the road?doesn't look like there is any upward clearance..

    stock application here but the largest i could run without moving springs was 275's...without hitting.

    I moved the springs in and used a B body rear. I had to trim the wheel lip some to make enough clearance. They won't hit.

    Man, that is such a bad a$$ 'Cuda.

    Ain't NOTHING better than a black, hardtop, no vinyl top '70 or '71 'Cuda!  This coming from a guy w/a couple of 'verts!

    On my wish list someday.

    Looks great man! KILLER! I run the same Drag T/As on mine.  :thumbsup:

    Did you also paint your letters white by hand or do they make RWL tyres now?


    :cheers:

    Yup, same as me, I love RWL and wanted to match the fronts. Does suck a little aye, I remove the tyres, chuck them on a bench, pull a seat up, poke my tongue out while I paint them with the tyre pen haha. Takes around 45 minutes to do a tyre!! Worth it though and not much to ask for 10-12+ months worth of driving (with the odd touch up).

    Mine was exactly the same on both sides.
