    Time for a show lets see the 71-74's

    Awesome cars, guys! A lot of inspirational stuff on here. I'm getting pretty fired up for the spring and the return of car shows. Here's a couple recent shots of my GTX...Redid the interior 2 years ago, suspension upgrades last year, 440 a few years back, etc. 550hp/570tq. Can't wait for summer...

    Critique My Engine Build....440

    Absolutely buy the best parts you can and I agree with LemonWedge as well - you could probably get away with a little more cam as long as you get a quality converter matched to the combo. I run a very similar 446 set up, the primary differences being a 250/258 Erson solid cam, cleaned up...

    Mopar's in the Park Farmington MN

    Super impressive turn out this year, especially considering the inevitable rain. Great show overall. Having a FBBO tent or any organized thing like that would be really cool. Thanks for posting the pics - I see you took a couple shots of my buddies 1 ton red and black dodge. That beast turned...

    Time for a show lets see the 71-74's

    Hey bud - unfortunately, I never met the guy or gal. I'll probably see the car again this season though (if it ever warms up) and direct them towards this site. Love your car - can't go wrong with triple black! Well....except the whole "keeping it clean" thing.

    As always, awesome cars :headbang: Here are a bunch of pics I just came across from some MN shows and cruise nights from last summer: - - - Updated - - - And here's where I left off with the GTX last fall...highlights include rebuilt motor, repainted/refreshed engine bay, new air A/G...

    Mopars in the park-6/2/12--6/3/12 farmington, mn

    No kidding. It's been a gray spring - hopefully this weekend pans out. Either way it's an awesome show - I'll be there with my GTX. Looking forward to it!

    1971 Grille Restoration

    I restored my GTX grill awhile ago - to my understanding, the black section wasn't painted, it was just black plastic. The plastic on my grill was beyond cleaning up, so I used Krylon "Fusion" Satin Black and a generic argent silver for the rest. Krylon's Fusion paint is made specifically to...

    1 more time...17 wheel users pic/tire size thread

    Haha I hear ya bud. I was nervous about the sidewall being too tall on mine (both fronts and rears) when I bought them, but they worked out well. Again, your wheels and tires look awesome...I can't wait to see a '71-'74 Plymouth with the new Rallyes.

    1 more time...17 wheel users pic/tire size thread

    Wow...carcrazy I'm a big fan of your new YO Rallye's - they look killer! I'd definitely buy a set if I didn't just buy 17's for mine (or if I wasn't broke). Like you, I have 50 series Nitto 450's out back on mine - fills up the wheel wells nicely. My wheels are 17x8 MB Old School's with '0'...

    The Cure for Seasonal Depression: Pics From Last Summer

    Thought I'd add a little sound for the senses...here's a quick video I shot a few weeks ago when I put the car away for the winter. For those considering a Hughes Whiplash cam, here's another sound clip of one in a 440! Oh and go ahead and ignore the wife's Smartcar in the garage :tied up...

    The Cure for Seasonal Depression: Pics From Last Summer

    It's about 15 degrees here, so I figured I'd lift my spirits with some car **** when I stumbled upon a bunch of my pics from 2012 Mopars in the Park! I threw in a couple pics from the '12 Carcraft (aka CamaroCraft) Summer Nats here in MN, as well as some shots of my car from my wedding this past...

    Time for a show lets see the 71-74's

    Ha yeah, I was less than impressed the first time I mocked them up to the fenders. I found it easiest to get the bottom flush to the front valance, and then get the best possible angle on the fender. It took some time, measuring and a few beers, but my buddy and I were able to get them pretty...

    Time for a show lets see the 71-74's

    Thanks buddy! I'm super biased, but yeah...I dig the stance/look too. You're right - they're 17x8's. The front tires are 235/55/R17's and the rear are 275/50/R17's. 50 series rubber definitely fills up the wheel wells on these cars when running 17's - it almost makes the wheels seem "smaller"...

    Time for a show lets see the 71-74's

    Awesome cars guys! Here are a couple shots from this summer - A rebuilt 440, new dash pad, dash insert and chin spoilers start the looong list of stuff done this season.

    Painting dash trim?

    The paint pen method works great - I did the same thing you want to do last winter! I ended up buying another insert on ebay because some of my vents were broken and painted that one...here's a direct comparison with the old dash insert. It's not 100% correct but it looks 100% better :headbang:

    Anyone running these wheels on 71-74?

    Carcrazy - I bet those would look really good, especially with your paint color! Here's a few shots of my '71 GTX with 17x8's. Even though I agree that muscle cars usually look better or "right" with 15's, the right oversize wheels can definitely work. I found choosing a tire with enough...

    best economical way to raise the rear end

    x2 I was gonna ask what size tires you're running? I gained an inch and a half of height out back with my new rear tires. Depending on what you currently have, this might be a solid option :headbang:

    15x7 US Indy Slot Mags

    Like the title suggests, I have a set of (4) vintage 15x7 US Indy Slot Mag wheels for sale. I took these off of my '71 GTX this past fall and all four wheels are in great shape. The center caps aren't amazing, but the chrome still shines and they are in decent overall shape. The slots were...
