No, my wheel openings are not drilled for the WOM's. I do have nice fenders to replace the rusty originals, and one has been drilled for WOM's. I will weld the holes up during the restoration. If you buy that car, I would just leave the WOM's on it since they are there. They won't make it any...
Except for the last 6 of the VIN and the colors, that A66 is pretty much identical to mine. you're correct on wheel opening molding not available on A66 Challengers. I've still got the NOS wheel opening trim I bought in 1979, right after I bought my A66. I was going to install it when I had it...
Back in the early to mid 80's when these things started going from junkers to collectibles, a popular saying in Mopar circles was "Only the green survive!" Not many people liked it, so cars that were F8 often got painted another color. Although this car has plenty of add on's that it didn't come...
@Mike73Dodge What gear does your Challenger have, and what is the current RPM at 60? Beautiful car, by the way. My 71 Challenger conv has 275/60-15's on the rear right now and it turns around 2500-2600 RPM's at 70. That seems to be the sweet spot for the very slightly warmed over 360 that is...
I haven't done it recently, but I ran 15 x 8" Cragar SS mags and 275/60-15's on the back of my A66 70 Challenger. The only suspension change I made was adding air shocks because the car was a tail dragger. This was early 80's time frame. I only pumped the shocks up enough to level the car, and I...
It looks nice! :thumbsup: You should probably paint the front of the radiator support black, like the factory did. If you don't, it will stick out like a sore thumb when looking thru the grill. Not only that, you will have to listen to people telling you it should be black, until the end of...
Look up SK Machine in Danielsville, PA and see how close they are to you. Very good machine shop that does all brands, but are Mopar guys and Mopar specialists.
An original core is needed to supply to be recovered. Originals have a metal base that the foam is formed on. Repro's that are all new have plastic bases that the foam is formed on. Over time, those plastic bases warp and twist and end up looking like Fido's ass! Metal bases from an original pad...
