Welcome! Please post some pictures of your Charger  :yesnod: Looks good from the avatar picture  :coolgleamA:

Thanks,
Here is a picture from this summer when I was loading the car to take to my brothers to line up the front end.
Nose was a little low in the picture and raised up when we set the bars. Stock front sway bar and slight larger
bars with rebuilt springs in the back with Imperial air shocks at 35 psi. G60-15 on the front and N50-15
Mickey Thompson's on the rear.  Wheels are vintage American Racing 200s 15-8 and 15-10.

Beautiful! I really love the vintage wheels, the 200s is the daisy one right? Any pictures from the side or an angle that shows more of the wheels? Any rubbing issues in the back?

I agree. It's unusual to see Mickey Thompson's or any bias ply tire on are cars nowdays. Would be cool to have a closer look.

Welcome from another red '70 Charger owner.  By the way, where in Wisconsin are you?  My mom's maiden name is Speltz and we come from Albert Lea, Minnesota. 

Relatives from Luxembourg, maybe?

Thanks, the wheels are daisy's and I even found left hand bullet lug nuts for them.
I like the look of the bias tires over radials. My other set of tires are F-70-15
Firestone Super Sports on rallye's.  I included a picture from a while ago with
those tires.  The Mickeys would rub with out air shocks.  I use Imperial air shocks
rather than B-body ones because they are about 2 inches taller when compressed
so if i loose air the tires won't hit.  I have not had a problem with the front tires.
My car is originally FK5, FK5 and someday it will be again.
