Skypower,

I would like to know which size/part number of Hoosier rear tire
you are using.....and the size of the rim.

Any close-ups or pics off of the car of the overall look and of the
tread?

Thanks,
John

Rims are 15 X 12 with 6.5 backspacing, tires Hoosier 19275PS, I like these tires for a street car because they are true street tires and florida it rains all summer so getting caught in it with drag radials is no fun. Also I have'nt found much in this hieght with out being too wide, then add that it's a stick car there are very few radials built for them. Anyway thats how I ended up with these.

Tire size is 31x12.5 x 15 got em thru Jegs
 
At least they are working on it.

Yes ..T-granger...those ARE drum brakes on the rear w/discs on front....never really been as concerned about stoppin' as I have startin'

I'll bet over 75% of the braking is done with the fronts..thats why I kept the discs on front and left the rears drum (as a stocker)....remember...this is a budget build...right?

Mark ..those are my DynoMax 2 1/2" straight-thru mufflers....for a little rumble..out back!
 
skypower, the pic of the lower shock mount (post#704) looks to be below the scrub line... please tell me I'm wrong.
 
hey Denny, when did you build the lime 73 HEMI Duster and do you still have it? if not, is the new owner a friend and a member here at FABO? i remember seeing the lime duster in magazines but don't remember when. also when did you build Mark's orange Duster and the butterscotch Demon? have either of them been in magazines, because they should be? have you done any others besides those 4, like maybe a 68 Dart GTS? that would be very cool....... sorry 4 all the ?'s, but i'm a newbie and really like those/your's under the hood hemi Dusters. they look like they could be factory built if musclecars hadn't been neutered after about 1971.

THANX in advance for your time.

Didn't see a reply... looks like the shock mounts will drag the car to a stop if the rear tire goes flat. (or tear the rear end out)

Ken...I no longer own the '73 I built around 1995...I think it's been thru several owners and modifications ....and I believe it is now on the west coast, but I've never conversed w/ the latest owner.
I think Marks HemiDuster was built around '98 or '99 and Jim's HemiDemon was just completed late last year...I'm currently working on a front end similiar to the Demon for a '67 Cuda.
HemiMarks HemiDuster has been featured in several mags...and I'm sure Jims HemiDemon will be also as soon as it's seen outside this site and his hometown.


You did nail it...all were designed to look like a "factory" install including under the stock....no scoop... hoods

I have all of the parts and pieces here thanks to a free donor body
from my good friend Jim Thoren who owns Supercar Collectables
( www.supercar1.com).

I usually don't build much in the summer but it will eventually happen.

The last custom build I did was of Denny's GTX from when he was 16.
 
I've got exactly the correct rear wheels and tires (elsewhere)
to make one of these like Skypower's. It's a Hemi.

Got a fresh set of these M/T's (in this exact size - 315/60R-15)
with 15x8.5 gray centered Torq-Thrust D's and matching 15x4.5
fronts with 205/75R-15's.

All are here....just have to get them mounted and balanced.

An alternative look to the Cragar set with the 315/60R-15 BFG
Drag Radials.
