Back when I had Hoosier street slicks, I did not want to exceed 35 MPH in the rain. Mike

I went on the conservative side-for now with 17x8s and 18x9s. I have 24 miles on the car and the tires are 11 yo! Mike

Many larger urban areas have shops that will bake off coatings and not damage the substrate. Some refer to the process as "ash burning". Mike

I had them on my snowmobile trailer for years with good results. No use is harder on steel than Michigan winter roads. Mike

I bought my 65 Coronet with these wheels and tires, and it is my daily driver (summer). Mike

I use 235s on my Centerlines. Mike

I wouldn't recommend thread locker but, I would recommend calling Weld. Mike

Steel wheels with full wheel covers! Be different. Mike

Buy a shot/sand bag to back those up while hammering. Mike

I pulled the drums off my new 94 2500 and antisiezed the mating surfaces. I can still just pull the drums by hand for inspection. Mike

I would think a thin cold chisel would separate the hub from the drum, then if the retainer/s is present (doubtful on a 68) I grab and twist to break them off (only there to hold on drums before assembly). Like mentioned above if drums are worn the brake shoes may have to be backed off (using a...

I think Hot Rod magazine was supposed to build a site like this 10 years ago. It never happened. Mike
