    18" wheels on 1969 Road Runner

    That's because they're primarily market is for (please sit down if you aren't already) . . . FORDS! Blasphemy I know, but Late Model Restoration (LMR) has been around for awhile and have always been at the top of the list in terms of replica / aftermarket Ford Mustang wheels. They don't...

    18" wheels on 1969 Road Runner

    If my cast wheel gets destroyed, I'll gladly just pay the $169/ea to replace with a brand new one :usflag: No one is questioning the forging process produces a higher strength wheel, just, is it actually beneficial for most vehicle applications? The primary benefit is going to be a reduction...

    18" wheels on 1969 Road Runner

    Probably not, Weld Racing wheels are forged, that's why they're $1,009/ea. The SVE's are one-piece, cast aluminum with a lifetime warranty (23#/ea - 18x9). I'm really interested to see the wheel weight on the Welds, they haven't gotten back with me yet. I don't think the forged vs. cast...

    18" wheels on 1969 Road Runner

    Bumping an old thread, to prove the value of shopping around. One 18" wheel costs $169/ea the other wheel costs $1,009/ea. They look 90% identical, other than the center hub, I don't know the weight of the Weld wheel but I just sent an email to see what you get for $840 additional dollars:

    18" wheels on 1969 Road Runner

    Waiting patiently for those 13+" brake kits that fit anything less than 18" wheels. I'm sure factory 14" wheels, drum brakes, and Polyglas rubber' would really compliment my Hotchkis suspension.

    18" wheels on 1969 Road Runner

    That's what paying $20 to a photographer will get you. Here is the original picture; http://whatanimpression.com/event-galleries/turkey-run-fall-2017/?sub=1df7e742ed8375b9687c1dafbf5e8c50#photo=9b073243fdf830ceab87533e739028c0

    1968 coronet rt value?

    No idea, I'm just dumbfounded concerning the perceived value of this car. I'm not a collector, so it's just my opinion. Low-30's is my best guess, that's at the upper limits.

    What's a bondo queen worth?

    I would say, $10,000-$15,000 just in the restoration work for the body to be safe. Just let that sink in, you would have $30,000 into a car that's a dime-a-dozen. If you're going to buy a project, at least let it be in the $5,000-$8,000 range and understand exactly what you're getting into -in...

    Let the Restoration Begin, NOOB questions...

    For the brakes, that's a no brainer, contact Dr. Diff (http://www.doctordiff.com/). He's the best in the business when it comes to Mopar brake kits.

    18" wheels on 1969 Road Runner

    Well, wheels worked out great. No new pics yet, still waiting for my 14" wilwood 6-piston setup to arrive for the front. Just needed a 5/16" spacer on the rear, have around 1/2"-3/4" of tire clearance to the leaf, another 1.5-2" to the outside fender. This is with a 20ish mm offset on the...

    18" wheels on 1969 Road Runner

    Great images, thanks for the feedback. It's surprising how a few members believe moving to larger diameter wheels is blasphemy. The wheels I purchased are nearly identical to the Hellcat, just in an 18" format. Would I run 20's, of course not, but you have to step up into 18's to have the...

    18" wheels on 1969 Road Runner

    Here are the wheels on Moselyme's A-Body.. As you can tell, it's pretty much identical to a factory Hellcat wheel but in 18" diameter. Not sure if he's finished the car, from the build it's been under construction for a few years.

    18" wheels on 1969 Road Runner

    Kern, I couldn't agree more. The 60's look is cool, I love 30x15" tires on Mopars, but they aren't practical. I've owned a Z06 Corvette, road-race Supercharged Saleen Foxbody Coupe, and now a 2015 SRT 392 Challenger. I prefer cars that can actually take a corner faster than 30mph.. There are...

    18" wheels on 1969 Road Runner

    Richard, I enjoy the 'big and little look' as well. I currently have draglites 3.5" front & 8" rear. Also sporting 295/65r15 M/T drag radial's. As you might know, these are the R2 'special compound' that last less than 1,000 miles on the street per set. I have a Turbocharged 440 with A2W...

    18" wheels on 1969 Road Runner

    Anyone have 18" wheels, please post if you do. Looking at SVE Drift Wheels, 18x9 (05+) front and 18x10 rear (94-04 rear) off LMR.com. (https://lmr.com/products/SVE-Drift-Wheels) Would like to run 255/45/18 NT555 G2 front and 295/45/18 NT05 rear to keep a similar stance, and for...

    440 Source

    Well, my experience is you 'get what you pay for'. They may have good customer service, but their part quality is below standards. If you are looking at cheap, China sourced parts to go on your American hot rod then go ahead. I have purchased every part twice that I have ordered from them...

    Coolant overflow tank

    I have one of the cheap summit racing plastic overflow tanks, and it has been holding up fine for the past two years (but would buy aluminum if I did it again). They fill up and have a valve on the bottom to release the coolant. What radiator cap are you running?
