Final details
Working through the final details. All four tires are on. Went with Master Craft Avenger G/T's because they were the least expensive tire I could find and they still seem to get great reviews. Bought them from Summit with no shipping, no oversize fees, no tax :) Saved about $300 over going with BFG's (which I hope to do down the road - but I could not swing it right now)
My wheels are Mopar 15 x 7.5" "cop" wheels that came on the Dodge Diplomats and Plymouth Grand Fury law enforcement cars in the 80's. The front tires are size P245/60R15 and the rears are P275/60R15's.
Got my stainless hubcaps polished and detailed with new red "circles" etc.
Some time ago I modified a jack to look original so my trunk would look right. Just to be clear, I will never use it, so safety is not a concern. In fact even if it was an actual factory jack, I would be crazy to risk the chrome on the bumpers, and the stability of the car. Those old jacks are pretty scary even when everything is right.
Here is the thread for that over at the '70 Charger Registry forum - Click Here
Well I finally got around to stripping it and painting it, then got it put in today.
A small step, but a fun one :)
A close up
Everything at home looking correct :)
Very soon, I hope to be driving on the roads and attending car shows!
