Sooooooo…I didn’t take pictures of the car during the ”restoration” but I can give a quick run down. Bought a 1967 Dart 270 down in FLA off eBay in 2008. Minimal rust, primer gray over gold(?), bench seat, 318 auto, with black steelies. Didn’t take much to get it running and driving so I drove...

Soooooo…I took a few different size sockets, an extension, a small hammer and a stack of bath towels and gently, slowly tapped the back/inside of the offending wheel center caps until they bulged out just enough to give me the clearance I need (I think). Waiting on my tires to come in and be...

Good advice all! Thanks! I’ll let you know!

Top photo is the new wheels:Summit Racing Warrior with their push-thru center cap. Second photo shows the distance between the backside of the cap and the hub after the cap is bottomed against the dust cap. Last picture is the bare dust cap, hub, rotor assembly.

My 1967 Dart had the front disc brake swap already done when I got it. The wheel bearing dust cap sticks out just enough too far that the push-thru cap on my new wheels won’t allow the rim to seat on the hub. Is there a shorter/shallower dust cap replacement I can get?

which cars would you own? My personal picks in no particular order: 1932 Ford coupe, bare bones, poked and stroked flathead 1955 Chevy gasser with Cragars 1951 purple Mercury chopped top, lowered lead sled with fender skirts and spotlights 1964 Ford Thunderbolt side oiler 427 1965 Coronet...

Got a picture or two?

I’m looking for a driver rear bumper for 1968 Dart willing to ship. Doesn’t have to be great just not bent and average chrome. I’ll have about $200 in a fiberglass one after shipping and prep/paint and I’m afraid it will still look like a ‘glass bumper. Anyone?

I got mine from Mancini Racing some years ago.

I am feeling your pain! I’m just now starting to re-animate my ‘67 Dart that I got back in 2008. My recent retirement has allowed me the time to approach the car in a more ...um, thoughtful manner. As far as the headers go, if you already have them on the car, leave them and get a “header back...

Thanks for all the reply’s, guys. Actually,the issue is not how wide a tire will fit (for now!) but just wanting to make sure the direct drill ( ie: single bolt pattern) will go on. I didn’t know if maybe there was a hub centric issue. I have set of American Torque Thrust wheels that fit both a...

I tried that, too. Thanks, though. I guess I’ll try to call the tech line. Again.
