4402tuff4u thats one nice looking 68, it really needs 15x8 magnums to finish it off.

:iagree: :iagree:

or a nice set of Cragar SS. Looks awsome, now drive the wheels off of it.

Very nice job Mike!

When you decide to dump those wheels, can I have first dibs on them?  I'm building a car for my son and I think those would work really well on it for what I have in mind.  We're in no hurry, so take your time.  Oh, and feel free to burn the rubber off'em.  I only want the wheels   :icon_smile_big:

Looks great! Mine is going to be the same color, hopefully soon. I was just wondering to myself what it would look like if I were to put a white bumblebee stripe on it instead of the black that it's coded for, now I know. It looks really cool. Is yours coded for a white stripe? I'm also going to put Magnum 500 wheels on it, or torque thrust Ds, I haven't decided yet, but it definitely won't be body colored rims with dog dish hub caps, even though that's what it probably came with from the factory.

Great job on the resto  :yesnod:  that is beautiful for sure. I have to admit I would put a set of Magnums on it myself.

Oh and you need one of these for the new 440   :drive:  both tires  :icon_smile_big:  keep up the good work.

It's a stripe delete Charger R/T and that's why I went with the decals, so they can be more easily removed if need be. I went with the white stripes cause I think the black stripe get lost with the black vinyl top and that particular bronze color. My steele rims from factory were black with the dog dish hub caps. I had my body guy paint them bronze. I can always paint them black at home easier than the bronze color. I have them in storage in case I ever want to change the look.

I've always wondered why would someone order an R/T without the stripes (I can see the reason on a 69) and without a sure grip rear end!! I know it has to do with $$$, but man the extra $ 100 a month, I would think it would be worth it!! just my two cents.
