    Rust removal

    I never tried the vinegar method. How long for the exhaust manifolds that you de-rusted? I wonder if the vinegar will be harmless on delicate metals like pot metal. I know the Molasses method will eat away delicate metals like pot metal and also leave an etched surface on aluminum parts...

    Rust removal

    Here's another option, molasses dip. I've done this with many parts. Go to your local tractor supply company or similar joint and grab yourself a gallon of feed grade molasses. Mix it up 10 parts water to one part molasses in a large Tupperware storage tub. Throw your wheels in and let them sit...

    Looking for 17 Inch Wheels for my 72 Demon

    67Dart273 is right with the axle breaking. The new location for the studs is too close to the edge for comfort. There has to be a ton of salvage yards around there with mopar stuff. I'm sure you could get your hands on a used 8 3/4, or 9" if you don't want to stay all mopar. Cali isn't that...

    Looking for 17 Inch Wheels for my 72 Demon

    front tires hitting

    Looks more negative than anything. I'm sure you meant negative. Negative camber leans the top of the wheel in towards the center of the car.

    How to Measure for the correct back spacing?

    I've never seen any vehicle that had the exhaust ran from inside the leaf spring, over the axle, and then to the outside of the leafspring? It would make no sense and more than likely it would cause interference with a stock wheel and tire.

    How to Measure for the correct back spacing?

    I understand that there are other obstacles. In the rear though the leaf spring is closer to the end of the axle then the inner wheel well. the only other obstacle in this case would be the inner lip of the quarter panel.

    How to Measure for the correct back spacing?

    Very easy to figure out. Jack the car up and put stands under the axle. Take a rear wheel off and place a straight edge across the front of the drum on the flat part that is sandwiched between the wheel and axle hub. Measure from the straight edge to the leaf spring and that will give you what...
