    What Am I Missing?

    Yeah, I was thinking that, too. Bottom line; I got the price.

    What Am I Missing?

    Being that I'm getting to be an old fart, I keep a record things that occur as I build this thing, to combat the CRS. It's as much for me as it is for the next poor slob that owns it!

    What Am I Missing?

    Brakes are gm 9.5. Somebody must’ve welded gm axle ends onto the 9 inch rear so that the backing plates bolted on. So now I’ll have a 9 inch Ford with GM brakes and a Ford/Mopar wheel pattern. What a mess.

    What Am I Missing?

    So, I got the wheels. Wednesday, actually. Fast. I tried one on the back, to check fit. It wouldn't go on. I checked the wheel bolt pattern. All good. I checked the bolt pattern on the FORD 9" rear that is sitting in place, in my Duster. IT'S 4.75!! GM pattern!! Someone, in this rear...

    What Am I Missing?

    I'm 60, and want an "old school" wheel like Prostars for my Duster project, which I'm building as a late 70's, early 80's street/strip car. I would've bought em used, but they're hard to find. I bought used polished Centerline's for my 87 Mustang project. You'd have to look pretty close to...

    What Am I Missing?

    "Contact The Seller" button wouldn't work the first time I tried. It does now. I see it's Mc Cormack Racing, which last I heard, was reputable. I emailed them to see if the price is correct for two NEW wheels.

    Bfg tires letters turn brown

    I suppose that you have the emblems removed from all of your cars, logos removed from all clothing and shoes, don't drink from a soda, beer, etc. without covering the label...

    Centerline Autodrags

    Centerline wheels, in general, seem to be available. The Auto Drags, I dunno.

    Polishing Around Rivets...

    I got my nerf bullets, that mderoy340 suggested. I did some polishing today. I think it'll work. I used a 1/4" drive extension in my drill. I cut off the red bullet tips and pushed the foam over the extension. Just have to be a bit careful and it's hard to put any significant pressure on...

    Polishing Around Rivets...

    I know they are work, but they do shine up! That sounds like the ticket! I just ordered some. Thanks! I happen to have this kit. Out of all of those wheels, none get around the rivets!

    Polishing Around Rivets...

    ...on polished Centerline Autodrags. I have several polishing wheels, but nothing that gets around the rivets. I thinking something cylinder shaped with the end being concave, so that it goes right around the rivet. Anyone know of something that'll work?

    Centerline Wheel Thickness

    I looked on both Summit's and Centerline's sites. No luck (at least I couldn't find it). I was going to look through my can of lugs to see if I had any before I made the guy an offer. Looks like it ain't as easy as I thought. I bought them. He's shipping them. In hindsight, I should've asked...

    Centerline Wheel Thickness

    Anyone know how thick the hub of a Centerline Autodrag wheel is? I might buy a couple and don't know how long the shanks on the lugs should be.

    3.5 front wheel pics

    I'd be a bit skeered of running that small a tire on that heavy a car. I like tall tires. They cheat the beams and give you a quicker e.t. 8)
