How about this:
Have the tires turned around at local tire shop.
Ditch the hub caps.
Add a 1.25 billet spacer on the rear to push the black steelies out, for a more muscular stance?

Good ideas but I am expecting to get some 17/18" Mustang Bullit Rims for it within the next week or two - that will equal a MAJOR personality change.

Well, a couple of more deals have popped up that I am considering plus i really miss my Ram Charger, so I have decided to post the Beater on craigslist.

http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/cto/1169014587.html

I've got a couple of interested parties so far. One of which has 2-bodies for partial trade. One is a '71 Scamp and the other is a 72 Duster. The Duster is a rolling shell while the Scamp ihas a 318 in it. In the meantime, I am still working towards it being 100% complete. I've already got a deal working with wracks71 for a set of rear wheels and am hunting for matching fronts. Even if the car sells as is, I still plan on the next prject getting the bullit wheel treatment

Nice job on the restro, cragers always look good too. Ive liked the look of torque trust on A Bodies recently. Nice job.

I agree. Not LBP yet but will be soon :-D

I thought you were selling it? Why would you swap over to LBP?

Put some rallyes on it, and turn the whitewalls inside. Will cost less than $300 and your car will bring what you are asking. Or paint the wheels (basically free), swap the whitewalls, and put on some dog dish hub caps. That's less than a hundy, but what a difference it will make. Trust me.

BTW I need to buy a stripe set from you for my Demon.

You,ve done a great job Gary!Good Luck with the sale,keep us posted with your next project.Whatever it may be?

I plan on buying the LBP wheels from Wracks and setting them aside until I have the funds to do a LBP disc brake swap. If the car sells before then, fine. I'll have a spare set of wheels & tires for the next project. If not, it gets upgraded and so does the price. Plus, I've already got my eyes on 2 or 3 other A-Body projects. At least one of which will join the fold as soon as the Beater sells...

Demon side stripes are $75.00 including shipping. If you want a tail stripe at the same time, it is an extra $15.00. I have matte black, gloss black, & white.

do you have the tail panel stripe for the 73+ gold duster?

Thanks for the kind words. As for the next project, I have my eyes on a 71 Scamp that is GY3 Citron Yella - 318/904/8-3/4 car. It comes with a clean 72 Duster roller as well - I just so happen to have a 318/904 sitting around waiting for a home

That way I will still have one to keep after I put one in someone else's garage.

Yes, I have the 73/74 Duster tail stripe.

I placed a for sale ad in the Cars Fr Sale section - here is a little cross site marketing just in case someone reading through this is interested in it
