Nice pic. Looks very serene there. Did your little one hurt her arm? Looks like its in a sling.

Thanks, John.
Thanks, Mat. No, she's just pulling on her blouse.
Ok, you're probably going to roll your eyes and shake your heads but I swapped wheels today. I bought a set of JB slots from Ulf and sold my Shelby slots to a local guy. I've leaned heavily on the guy to join the forum and he just might. He's owned a few US cars and just recently bought his late uncles (currently his sisters) '66 Dart convertible. Hopefully it'll show up here soon.
Anyway, here are my new rims:
They're 14x6 with 185/85 and 14x7 with old 215/65 respectively. Center caps included!
I'll need to find some better looking lugnuts, though... Or make my own?
And ... The Box is shipped! @krazykuda left a big box with USPS today so pretty soon I'll have lots of new stuff to show!

Why change rims? Well, I had four 14x6. Now I have 14x7:s in the rear. Makes sense, doesn't it? And the swap only cost me $200.

I think the swap to a larger rear wheel will look better. The Shelby wheels really didn't have much of a different look. Now you still need center caps for them.
Actually I don't! Four original center caps were in the box!
Here are the Shelbys for comparison:

Great! Now you've killed two birds with one stone. - Wider wheels AND you no longer need to find center caps for those Shelbys. It's good to see you back to progressing on the Dart.
Well, I don't know about progress. I just keep buying stuff, some of which I already have.

Well... if you don't have parts it's hard to make progress. I'm always stalled waiting for parts.
Sure. Not really certain how having two camshafts is helping me, though.

I keep buying parts too. Someday i will get this jigsaw puzzle back together. And now i have 2 of them a 67 notchback , and a 69 notchback. Just bought a full set of front disc brakes from the spindle out for the 69 notchback off an 84 M body $100.

Pix. Junkyard guy turned the rotors on his lathe for me. No charge. I used corban 35 on the machined metal to keep it from rusting in storage.

Anders! Getting parts or getting parts done is part of progress! You're doing great on your car!
Right you are, Ulf. I feel like a hoarder, though.
It was really nice talking to my new-found mopar neighbor.

Got a friend who has about 35 chevy pickups and suburbans, as well as 6 chevy caprice sedans, and no he is not a junkyard.
He has a huge building with a concrete floor. Big enough to house about 12 vehicles. Has an office, and a bathroom. Its so full of junk he has to work on his stuff on the crushed stone and clay out front of the building. He wont sell anything either. I tried to buy a headlamp switch for my chevy pickup from him. He wanted new parts prices for it, so i went and bough new from the dealer.
Now thats a hoarder. Likely when he dies his wife will sell it all to pine street salvage for scrap weight and sell the property.
I am a hoarder too. I have a 27x31 shop approx 837 sq feet. I have a bunch of nos, repop, and used parts for my 67 cuda, and the 69 cuda has boxes and boxes of stuff being stored in it. Plus theres the NOS, and used dodge daytona shelby stuff, along with one very dusty 1988 dodge daytona shelby z turbo in the corner of my shop with boxes piled on it until i can get to its resto, or find a buyer for it all. Until you reach this status in hoarderdom your still a small fry. LOL

He he, well I stand corrected. I'm a hoarder wannabe.

Hey Anders, I´ve got a whole bucket full of slot mag lugnuts (Summit part# SUM 7540082)
Ordered 20 pieces I thought, showed to be 20 bags with 4 pieces in each bag, he he.
Check them out at Summit, if they fit your application I´ll have them shipped to you.

Wow, that sounds great, Lennart! I'll check out the Summit part no. and see if they fit!
I scored a $90 mini starter today!

Nice score! You can take the wire extensions off and it fits in a lot better also!
Hm. It seems they fit in the rear wheels but not the front ones. Did you ever mount these, @65dartcharger?
Thanks Ray! Good call! I've barely looked at the thing yet but I noticed the connectors sticking out. I'll probably do that.
