'70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?
You guys got me thinking and im curious if you could help determine somethings. It’s obvious this car had some bodywork/paint done prior to me purchasing. The owner that had that work done died in a car crash so the next owner who I bought the car from didn’t have the complete history. For example the heater core area on the firewall was smoothed over.
Im wondering if these wheel wells have had some mods as well. Im showing an easy 12.25” capacity on the inner tubs at their narrowest.
Looks like wheel well lip might’ve been trimmed as well? Current tires are a 245 width and have 3/4” clearance on their section width to outter wheel well lip. And 2 3/4” clearance to inner wheel well. That gives me 3.5” of width to work with.
I don’t see how a 295 with a section width of 11.85” wouldn’t fit…? The math has the 295’s only 2” wider than the 245’s currently on the car.
Did the previous own do some more mods than what I’m seeing?
