Hey Tom, not wanting to be a pain in the butt, but, one day, could you put one of your front wheels 9.5" on the rear and take a photo of the spring and fender lip clearance just like you have for the 11" rears please.

Its easy to calculate... The 17x9.5 BS 5" haves 19mm more clearance inside AND outside compared with the 17x11 BS 5.75"

Dont know if this helps you already?

.......Johannes; The car was assembled in Switzerland 1970 and I think it never leaved this country. Only the canton (Switzerland haves 26 cantons. Cantons are like states or parts of that contry) changed. I bought that car in canton of Schwyz (that's why SZ) and I live in canton of Bern (that's why BE). Is it like you thought  :)??

Hi Tom.... Nope,...I was wrong,..your plates looks similar to the old Norwegian registration plates....
THANKS for sharing your mods,... I will copy some of them...

Can you post a close-up of the T/A spoiler mounted, showing how far back on the trunk lid it sits? Curious if you mounted it with a gap between the trunk trim or flush against it. Looking awesome  :thumbsup:

Hi

About the T/A Spoiler.. I don't like how the Spoiler is mounted from Factory with this Gap to the Trunk Trim. I wanted to make it flush.
First I drilled some holes in the Trunk Lid. Of course I had to measuring precise first that it fits nice. I don't know exactly where the holes are originally, but I am sure my holes are something about 1" further to the back. I have the Trunk Lid with openings for the mounting Nuts. This openings I had to enlarge (cut), otherwise it was not possible to mount the Nut. You see the different if you compare with a original Trunk Lid.

I like it much better when the Spoiler is mounted like this.

Once more; I drilled the four "main holes" only. On the side I used Body Tape. Bombproof and so much holes as required only.

And thanks very very very much for your comments, I am happy about  :lol2:

Tom

TOM -- Your Challenger is stunning and a GREAT pleasure to know more details!  Suspension?  Interior?  Rims/tires, etc?  How long have you owned it?
Autocross/road racers go in deeper... and come out harder!

See  MOPAR ACTION MAGAZINE, AUGUST 2006 ISSUE for featured article and details on my autocross T/A.
