Change the tires out today had 235/60/15 on front and 275/60/15 on back (huggers) changed out for 295/50/15 BFG's in back and 235/60/15 in front.  Wheels are magnum 500's 15x7 in front and 15x8 in back, fits perfect.

This great info about the 295 50s fitting on the 15x8s

[kevs1969daytona]

Ya I am very happy with the look, I don't like the 15x10 rims, they just don't look right IMO.

[wingcarenvy]

Looks awesome. 

[kevs1969daytona]

Got my reverse lights to work, it was a pain in the a**, but looks good.

Working on my seat belts, they were turning Blue over the years, they are actually 1968 but are the same as a 69 as far as I know.   We purchased some "acid dye" and my wife cooked the belts over the stove at 180 degrees. Great results.

[kevs1969daytona]

Dyed belts look new.  The elastic was broken but while try to repair after a trip to the local craft store.

[kevs1969daytona]

Well it's been a little while, just took the battery out of the car. Kinda sad but it's Canada after all started snowing I hate snow.   It's been a great year the car has not let me down once (no tow trucks).  Anyways just let everyone know who wants to make a clone.  If you can wait till the end it's absolutely worth it.  Been to a few Mopar shows and the crowds flock to my car, it like driving a Lamborghini down the road in the 1980's people loss their Sh**.  I have had 69 z28's, 70 R/T Chargers, Grand Nationals, 70 R/T Challengers, multiple vettes all convertibles, but a Daytona even if a clone people loose thier sh**.

Car looks great

Now what are you going to do with all your free time till spring ? 

[kevs1969daytona]

Not too sure but, the 18 months it took to build the car took up a lot of my time, including financially (my wife is very happy it's over) and it was somewhat stressful at times, but well worth it in the end.  Now I need another project thinking of a Grand National believe it or not. 

[DonC1]

Its a beauty! Great tip on the seat belt dye trick.

[triple_green]

This is exactly what I would build, if I could, Love it!!
