For a white car I'm with her. Chrome

 

[Dartn440]

Aaaaaaaagh chrome seems to be winning everywhere I am posting...lol

 

[JDMopar]

Sorry dude.....I gotta agree with her too! The white and red will look great, but it needs some bling for rollers. Too much white, and you'll need to shave your head slick and polished, wear white pants and a white t shirt at the cruise in...lol.

 

[Dartn440]

Well **** man...I am good to go then! Bald as hell...

 

[Dartn440]

Ok....let's say I go with chrome. I am looking for the hood and headlight eyebrow trim now. Got some better chrome drip rail coming. Go for the wheel well trim too? Chrome bumpers on this car.

 

[JDMopar]

You can always add the wheel well trim if needed. I'd see how it looks without it first. I've got some new wheel well trim for my Duster, but I'm gonna hold off until I study it a little when it's done. Oh, and I've got about 3 more hairs on my head than you...lol.

 

[Dartn440]

Sounds like a plan.

 

[Dartn440]

Choices.....hmmmm

Stock suspension up front. Stock rear with minitub and US Car tool spring relocation on a B body 8 3/4 rear with 11x 2.5 drums....would like a staggered look with more rim than tire.

The cragar ss looks good, the other 2 choices look like something you'd put on a pickup truck....imo

 

[Mr Gorsky]

Yuck.

Don't go chrome, go "chrome" outer, with grey:

That's what I thought too. The vehicle app on the Crager site only had a 72 Charger to choose from...lol

 

[DusterDaddy]

Don't put anything more than 15" wheels on the Demon. You need to show some tire. You're not a 17 year old with a 4 cylinder and a fart can muffler...

 

[Dartn440]

I was thinking 16 rear and 15 front when I was talking staggered. 15 inch rim up front is what I have on all the cars.

 

[Dartn440]

Yuck.

I am not 100% that will work with the white car. I got a lotta people telling me white with caps. Could add trim rings like my 72 Swinger?

A lotta people have no idea, tbh. Here's the proof:

^^^^White car, white wheels.​

 

[Dartn440]

Lol

 

[bkd]

I have to say...Cragar SS...is the way to go!

Yep, give mama some bling for her Demon

 

[diymirage]

slots all the way
it is the only proven rim that looks great on A bodies

Slots DO look great, but I am a big fan of weld drag lights myself...

 

[Dartn440]

Wife did a little work to bring the door emblems back to life.

 

[Dartn440]

Seems as though chrome rims are the winner here and other places I have asked. No pics yet, but car went out for full exhaust from headers back. Running through flowmaster 40s. Be good to hear it. I did however add in some electric cut outs to be naughty if I wanna be. Swapping meats off Swinger to test fit and confirm backspace and fit prior to looking for its own set of tires and wheels. Almost there....

 

[Dartn440]

Going back together now.....that is exciting stuff! Picked up the brow and hood trim and the new drip rail trim. High quality head lamps. New marker lights in place. Shop is a busy place these days. Lots of new projects in there moving along. Saw this ad up the other day...just had to share....we all need some metalflake!
