I pulled my '71 charger out of my backyard today to get it ready to send off to have the bodywork done. Im going to have it primed and sealed also.I was saving it for a parts car for my '71 Super Bee till I came to my senses a while back. I got the original 318 from the guy I had sold it to a few years ago. I have decided to make a nice driver out of it instead of cutting it up for parts.

The rims are about 20 years old now. I cant remember what brand they are but they have progressive centers on them. They arent progressives cause I remeber the store we bought them at said they were the only center caps they had and the rims were a different brand than the centers.

The only one who makes slots that I know of is American Racing. And they do not make deep dish wheels. Only 7" wheels.

Found them. American Racing Ansen Sprint Wheels. Sure are pricy though! I might be better off getting some old Fentons or something off of Ebay.

Hey.... I like Mavericks! They make good sleepers. I miss my '71 Maverick Gabber that had a 351 Cleveland race engine in it. The car was scary fast.

Why in the world you wanna flat hood instead of the buldge hood ??? Hell, I'll trade you my flat hood for the bulge hood.
