    New guy needing assistance plz.

    The quick and dirty from an A body driver of many years and a few rebuilt cars. It will be a small bolt pattern, correct? 1. If it has an 8 3/4 I understand the cost of converting to LBP. If it has an 7 1/4 (not what I think) you will probably want to change that for the 340 planned anyway. So...

    How important is numbers matching to you?

    It would entirely depend on the car in question. It's cliche to say that it's only original once. But it's true. After that, it's all a compromise. Or an illusion of what once was.

    My First Mopar- 66 Charger

    I voted but consider steel rims as an option. Dress down instead of up? Big rims are for Conestoga wagons. Here's a welcome wagon for perspective.

    68 Road Runner Project-First Mopar

    If you have to by calipers and rotors anyway get the bigger "Cordoba" rotors and associated calipers. . Doctor Diff is the source assuming he has them in stock. Was the cowl top off the car when you got it? I can't tell from the first pictures but it looks like it. I always wonder about the...

    High School Building a 68 "Super Bee" Turbine Bronze.

    Doctor Diff would be my first thought. He's a good guy. Or Moser Engineering. I've bought the A body axles from them. Unsolicited opinion next and maybe not needed, but. My two cents worth is to use tapered bearing like Chrysler intended and not ball bearings. 1. It gives the students the real...

    High School Building a 68 "Super Bee" Turbine Bronze.

    You could not possibly have chosen a better color too. https://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/threads/dakota-digital-gauges.167731/

    So It Begins, 1966 Charger Restification.

    I'm having trouble getting my head around this. It's an anti-sway bar in the picture? Attached to the strut? I've seen plenty with a bracket on the lower control arm but I'm not familiar with that. Does this require mounting the calipers on the rear to clear them like the lower control...

    Lookie what $5000 buys you....

    I get wiggly over bench seats. I would prefer them in this car (and Road Runners). A bodies had a type front of seat that is the prefect combination for me. Fold down arm rest. Swapped my cars out to it.

    U.S. Marine's 69 RoadRunner after 25 years

    Read the story about how the accident happened and "Air Grabber" just struck me.

    Drug home a 69 Super Bee - in boxes

    There are usually reasons for things.

    Drug home a 69 Super Bee - in boxes

    It seems to me that yellow of some form with a black stripe is the appropriate color combination for a Super Bee. But if you are going to change the color, my vote is a light bronze for several reasons. I could give them if it matters. Other than that, whatever.

    69 Charger Awakening

    I'm with you on leaving the rubber top off. The hardest thing on that car will be sorting the wiring out. I mean, the threads where people need electrical help will make one's eyes cross. New wires, old wires, misdirected wires, burned wires, shorts, low voltage, etc. I would imagine that will...

    No. Sorry. I'll put this thread in "watch" just in case I spot some.

    1968 Road Runner to 2018 Chryslers @ Carlisle or bust!

    A lot of A body Dodges were sold by Marietta Dodge back then. I suspect Lockheed employees were a big customer for grocery getters. I have one that I saved from a Fayetteville junkyard back around 9/11. Had the dealer on the deck lid. Pa? "We" want "our" Road Runner back.:lol: (Georgia) Na. You...

    DePouli's 1969 Charger 318

    How does the inside of the cowl look? The body looks nice so hopefully that is good too. But...... I've had a good body with a bad cowl. Strange what rust seems to find.
