Since I'm buying new BFG Radial T/As this week and since the current tires are going on the Charger to make it more rollable (the two right side tires on the Charger are f'ed and go flat a lot), we decided to wear down the life on them. Only a one wheel wonder right now but eventually it will get a suregrip. I made a baseball out of the rubber I peeled off the wheelwell and trunk extension :coolgleamA:

Sounds good Cody, I got to tell you, I have never had or seen a car that was NOT
a suregrip, that spun the left tire everytime. All of my friends cars, and the cars I had
''every car I had withought a suregrip'', every one of them spun the right tire every time. Makes
me wonder about that rear end   :scratchchin:

I can't wait to see those ralleys on your duster, maybe some fart can tips too just to show those haters what's up.
what's the hang up with those wheels again?..


Might be sooner than you think :icon_smile_big: I have brand new Duster 340 chrome tips on the way. A guy on the A Body site bought them new and never used them so I got them at new condition for a cheaper price :2thumbs:


Cody, I got a set of original Chrome tips, and had them chromed. Yes it cost 3 times more than the repop units,
but I am into original on things like this, because originals have a belly running down the top, and the repop units
are flat, same way as the Repop Charger tips.

This my Dart Sport a year ago, just put the 70 340 HP manifold on, and 2-1/4 in pipes. And I am running the
stock original tip hangers, so your car will look like this. I have brand new chromed bumpers still for it as well,
just not on yet, would love to put a fast cheap paint job on the car, its just a 360 street fighter.........

The one good thing about one wheel peels is that you can rotate the tires and get double the amount of burnouts outs (4 different tires vs 2 different pairs) of each set of tires!

Man that looks good Cody. Sure changed the looks of that car.  I like the rallye wheels. Those are the same as on the 73 I bought but mine need a good sandblasting and painting.

Thanks everyone! :2thumbs: Tim, I have noooo clue where all the snow is. Usually not much falls in Vancouver but on the Island where I used to live we would get a whole bunch. It's barely snowed there.....I'm starting to believe in global warming :-\
