    Project old blue

    ...good donors. Then Chariot had the rings/shells but said they can't get anymore (might have a couple left). However I found out that the 15" donut spare tires have the correct rings/shells that will work with the van centers. Merge the two wheels and you will have the 15"X3.5" skinny front...

    65 barracuda Commando 273 /Formula S?

    ITs hard to fake the "2" under the "C" on the fendertag. Thats a Formula "S" designator (oops, if it still had one). Tach and 273 4bbl could be had along with sway bar and stripe as well as 5 leaf springs and heavier torsion bars. The fatter blue streak tires and 5.5 rims may be another...

    8.8 rear in my A-body. I cant be the first!

    your overthinking it. just go get one and stick it in the car and be done. i know i am not the only one running one in an abody that is not narrowed. if you want to run bullits for them being cheap they are 5.72 b.s. if you narrow the rear they wont work. there are wider ones available, there...

    Spare tire pic ?

    ...allow the tire cover to lie flat). That's not too much to ask for, is it? The closest I found to being what I need is a temporary donut spare off a 90-something Jeep Cherokee. Its diameter was a close average of the two tire sizes, and it is skinny enough to drop below the lip of the...

    ...He said the front struts had been replaced on it, and it has brand new, yet to be installed rear struts in the trunk. (rock auto price $61.79ea) Donut spare and all jack pieces are there. Wind is blowing about 700mph and severe storms are on the way, so I won't be charging the battery up today.

    SLANT 6 a GAS GUZZLER?

    Yes, it took me YEARS and YEARS to figure it out. Tinkering, spending thousands of dollars and countless hours, but I finally figured out how to get slightly better mileage than your 360. I wasted a life away on a piece of crap motor trying to squeeze out a few mpg's. Wow, get off your high...

    SLANT 6 a GAS GUZZLER?

    It took you years to figure out what makes'em tick for better mileage? When I read on, below, I can not for the life of me believe what I read. The difference in adhusting my 360 in a 4000lbs car was less. OE parts were reused. twin cats on a new exhaust that followed the pattern of the OE...

It has power windows, power steering, power brakes, power locks, white face gauges, keyless entry, cruise control Alloy rims, Hot hot hot heat...

    spare tire

    I wondered about the same thing for several years. I've looked at all kinds of tires, and the only thing close to fitting was a temporary "donut" spare from a Jeep Cherokee. I think it was something like a T85-D15 - does that sound about right? The spare tire well is just at 6" deep and about...

    70 duster: updating, and a no-dough pro-touring makeover

    ...my spare doesnt. the 235/60/15 i have doesnt fit the wheelwell, and the 255/40/17 sticks up a rediculous amount. so im going to find a donut spare from a 1998 mustang cobra. heres what im talking about: theres only about 6 inches from the top of the assmbly to the trunk lid. also...

    Resurrected Junk

    Not long after I got the '73 home, I noticed that the rear sat low. I checked the front end to make sure it wasn't set high. No such luck. My car had a droopy butt. I used photo tricks to minimize the condition when shooting the car. Examing the rear springs revealed the onset of a reverse curve...

    70 duster: updating, and a no-dough pro-touring makeover

    well, another month and 600 miles (can you tell I'm really starting to enjoy driving this car?) the weekend before the woolly worm festival, i had to go to Columbia SC and help a friend move. figured it was a nice day, and it would be a good shakedown run. (Columbia is 160 miles each way, all...

    70 duster: updating, and a no-dough pro-touring makeover

    ...the mustang spares that i was looking at are going for stupid money. like around 100 bucks in my area. I'm not about to pay that for a donut spare. i did, however, find that the dodge charger uses a 17X4 spare with the correct bolt pattern. they go for about 35 around here. lot better...

    Still looking for a spare tire

    Yesterday, I think I saw another possible answer to my problem. At a local tire shop, we tried a 16" donut spare with a 145/80-16 tire. It fits the spare well just fine, but the wheel's bolt pattern was some type of multi-lug pattern and nothing close to our LBP. So, did Chrysler use 16"...

    Still looking for a spare tire

    ...the rim width was. I don't care about looks. A painted steelie is just fine, it will be covered up. Heck, I'd go for one of those donut spares, if it would fit. I just want a spare in my son's trunk, before he gets stranded somewhere and I have to go get him. The kicker is that we want...

    Someone backed into my new '05 300 last week

    It's frightening how much minor things like this can cost! Last May my wife was in line at the donut shop and was rustling through her purse for a $1.30 for a coffee when she let her foot slip off the brake of her 03 turbo PT Cruiser. She rolled forward and bumped the back of a 4x4 dualy...

    2005 Chrysler 300-I had the chance to test drive one today.

    Hello again Gang! Just thought I'd check in and see what is goin' on. Today I had some time to play around with. I went down to the local Chrysler dealer in my area and had the chance to look at and test drive a new 2005 Chrysler 300 sedan. The only option the car had was the traction...
