I have a set of white convertible interior panels that would like to have dyed black. I am here in the Chicago area. Any ideas?

If I wanted sarcasm I'd watch Jimmy Kimmel. Going with longer studs and a spacer is a more economical solution than spending $$$ for a disk brake set up. This was a situation that neither my tire guy nor I anticipated. He even came to my home to see the issue.

Thanks for the info, I called Dorman today and they gave me a Ford stud that may work. Going to get one right now.

I have no problem with a spacer, but I need longer studs to bolt the wheel to.

I didn't think it would be a problem either. These are 15 inch rims. The stock 14 inch rim was indented to fit into the drum.

I have a 1971 convertible with the stock drum brakes in the front. I went to mount my new Cragar S/S mags on the front and because of the large fins on the drum the rim will not mount flush to the drum. I can put a 1/2 spacer in to shim out the drum but am having trouble finding replacement...

I have the front and rear bumpers from my 71 Challenger. They would need to be rechromed as I bought new ones. Where are you located? PM me.

In my 1971 Challenger convertible, it was a stock 318 with a 3 speed. I have now gone to a 340, mild rebuild and was looking to put a 4 core 26 inch radiator in for maximum cooling, but it seems the mounting plate will only accommodate a 21 inch. Were there 2 different radiator mounts put in...

pm me your email address and I will send them to you

I the next day or so, I have to move stuff around in my shed

I have a pair out of a 73 Challenger, need new foam and covers, no rails.

Thanks for the insight, will pull it off this winter and have the bottom machined flat.

Should I be able to pick that o ring up from a local parts house. And yes it is an aftermarket chrome neck.

I have just put together my 1971 Challenger with a mildly built 340. I replaced the old radiator cap with a new 16lb cap. I am having trouble getting the neck to seal to the intake manifold. I used a quality sealer and gasket but when the system pressurizes, it leaks through the gasket and up...
