Nice work on the car! I would love to find a great condition 4 door like that to hotrod and use as a family summer daily driver. I passed up a pretty good condition 68 four door a few years ago and I still kick myself for not buying that car. It was an original Wisconsin car so it had some...

BigBlockMopar, that is the exact place that I am worried about. My fenderlips are trimmed even with the stainless wheel well molding and when you view straight up into the wheel well it looks like that little lip of the inner wheelwell is about even with my trimmed fender lips. I don't see...

Guys and Gals, how much clearance is needed between the widest part of the tire sidewall and the fenderlip on the rear of a car? This is a leaf spring with rubber bushings 68 dart with no rear sway bar. It will be a low profile tire 45 series tire. I want no rubbing at all. I have read lots...

Guys and Gals, I am finally putting new tires on the 68 dart and have it narrowed down to bf goodrich sport comp 2s or general g-max 205/50/17s in front. My question is in regards to load ratings. The G-maxes have a load rating of 93 xl which is 1433lbs @ 41 psi while the bfgs are rated an 89...

I second posting the numbers or if you could post a pick that would be great. My 68 gts was missing the fender tag when I purchased it. I would love to find it if it is still around. My car is in the states though so it most likely is not from my car but I have to check it out just to make...

I had the same thing happen to me after changing the thermostat in my car. I made sure I when I reassembled it I put a nice fine bead of water pump RTV both sides of the gasket but I still got a leak. I took it back apart and checked my housing and low and behold the ears were bent down...

If you want the salt flat look but at an affordable price check out American Legend Wheels – Muscle Wheels for Street, Comp & Elite cars. They have a new salt flat looking rim called the racer that should be in stock sometime in June or July. The smallest diameter is 17 inch but I think they...

How was the half inch figured out, I was always told 5.5 inch rim means 6.5 inch total width of the wheel. Cut that in half and get 3.25 inches, that would be a zero offset. Because the wheel has a backspace of 3.5 inches, a quarter inch more than the 3.25 inches, it has a .25 inch positive...

Thanks for the thoughts and I originally thought the same thing and was hesitant about having the backs machined but they do it on all of the 5 on 4.5 pattern wheels. Apparently they just machine the back before drilling the bolt pattern and then they don't drill the pattern as deep into the...

Alright guys and gals, you helped me decide in an earlier thread between 17 and 18 rear wheels and the appropriate offset in the rear. Now I am looking for some help on the front wheel offset. The back is easy to measure for offset but the front not so much. Again I have the factory KH sbp...

Thanks everyone for the kind words about the car and the suggestions on wheel size. I think you guys have made up my mind to go 17s all around. That was my original plan until I saw a chevelle rolling around town on a 17/18 stagger. It looks great, but I think to fit the car, 17s all around...

Guys, I am looking for some opinions. I am going to upgrade my wheels to get some modern rubber under my car and the old 14 inch coopers are due for replacement. I have decided to keep the small bolt pattern so I am limited to wheel choices and think I am going to go with polished show wheels...

I am looking for a cheap 68 dart parking lamp lens and housing, the one that mounts in the grill. The cheaper the better as I am only going to use this to take measurements and make some CAD drawings for a couple of custom parts I want to fab to fit in the openings. If the lens is cracked or...

A snatch blocks increase capacity because it cuts the actual load lifted by the winch in half but require the winch to pull twice as much cable than if it was a direct pull. It is called mechanical advantage. The work done by the winch is basically the same if you neglect the friction in the...

Circle Racing makes a wheel called the 95 series that is available in 17" sbp and is a billet ralley wheel. Summit carries them or at least they did. They are around 400 bucks a piece.

If your car has the original hubs you will need a wheel with a 5 on 4" bolt pattern. I listed the different cragars with that pattern below in both a 7 and 6 inch width in 14 and 15 inch sizes. Your car may have been upgraded to the larger 5 on 4.5" pattern which would allow you to use the...

Thanks for tracking down an affordable source of these hemidart67. I'll be in for some once they are available.

I think you will be about perfect with the 205/70R14 on the front and could leave the 225/70R14s on the rear. I have those exact sizes on my 68 GTS and I think it looks very close to factory. I think a 205/70 on the rear would look kind of small in diameter. I would post pictures if I knew...

If you are just after the torque thrust look Coys Wheels makes a similar looking wheel that is available in the small bolt pattern in both a 14 inch and lots of 15 inch sizes with a variety of center finishes. They also have larger sizes if interested in the pro-touring look.
