Whats funny is when I show a pic of my '75 AMC ( yes AMC) Hornet with the dog caps, ALL the comments is how I should buy some PRETTY wheels!!!! There is pretty and then there is Fancy Nancy (costs more!).
Reason I ask is I have always wanted to build a 64 Mer Comet and I drug one home but it is L6 car with the goofy 4 lug wheels and light supension. It will get a 289 and better suspension. I have a stash of 15 inch BBP rims 5 to 7 inch wide. Maybe one BBP 14. Anyway, I have a friend with a big...
If it was not 112 degrees I would go out and pull a dog dish cap off the Toad and measure,...but....I was thinking nothing came with that smaller dog cap until what was it 68?? BUT I am wrong about the same amount of time I am right.
My Toad is original down to the hubcaps.
Its HOT!
I'm cheap. I run OM steel wheels on everything. You could say I splurge but those dog dish caps, came on the the cars!!!!
Screw buying some nice wheels!!!
I drove with may pops because of $$$$>
Wait for tow??? Yea right! ha
Not saying it is safe or good. You gotta do what ya gotta due. $$$$
There were reasons I cut firewod and 100% heated with wood up there in Mo. $$$
From about 2000 to 2017, before I moved to Tx from Missouri, I drove 60 mi. a day to work on nothing but used old tires. No flats and never blew a tire. But I was running the MO back roads maybe 60 mph tops in an old Mopar Duster!!!
The mag up front is a period thing, look at old photos. These are Volare but again I have used this many times and I like it. But I also like mags on all 4 corners and steelies all around too!
I bought a couple of cheap WallyWorldtires for sapes. Yep they were cheap $$$$. So I take them to the local tire shop, the one and only, good guy, speaks a little English, I only know the bad Spanish words, but anyway. He is trying to tell how just how soft the sidewalls are. Not good...
I have a set of the old sawtooth mags that were rusted, bad chrome, so I just cleaned them with wire cup and acid, sprayed them with epoxy primer and satin black, look pretty good!!!! I can se them for spares or whatever!
Those are cool wheels but unless you luck into some with the oem centers! can be a little pricy. I have asset stashed away for one of my F bodies if I choose to use. Yes the cop wheels I just painted a pair for the rear of the 62 B body Dart. Heavy as a tank wheel! OK so tanks did...
I have to find a v8 K member or my 62 out of early B body 62- car. Anything out your way>>?? I still need some 15 inch steel wheels. I had a 383 fond for this car, but the seller backed out. Looking for decent running B or RB or even a god poly 318...
Thanks, I have to travel West a few hours before I can ever find anything old ish!!! Houston is the 4 th largest city in the US and it sucks for anything old Mopar wise! IT is amazing!!!!!!!
Just need a couple of 15 in BBP wheels, going on a 62 Drat ( B body) ...be nice to have the larger center for those early dog caps, BUT I wonder what vehicles will be my best choice to boneyard hunt?? for the later small center wheels. 70-s-90's 1/2 t. pickups??? Vans?? Register too large on...
