Uk part prices are guided by US prices in general, maybe a little cheaper as the demand is not so great and if they were on the same level then people would just import from US. There is the shipping duties to consider but this is offset by the greater availability in the US. Basically if you...

Hi all from over the pond in the Uk. Next month over here we have our annual Street Rod swap meet. It kicks off the season and is quiet a big deal. People empty their garages out and turn parts into cash. There have been buses come from France and Germany to look for Nos parts bargains etc...

Thanks all, will keep you posted. Got some caltrac monoleafs on the way from CA

rear bumper looks good!

Thanks all.. my buddy that races a challenger has just gone to a 400 block and external oiling. He's using one of those dry cell batteries - they are small and something else on the shopping list

Yes, there are more challengers than cudas. We just had our Mopar Nationals at Santa Pod raceway. I think there were maybe 5 cudas and 30 challengers. You used to be able to find out through DOT MOT's (safety inspection) but they did away with it about 5 years ago. I'd guess probs 60 challengers...

Pushing this forward I got between 2 and 1/4 and 2 and 1/2" from the edge of the wheel rim inside to the wheel tub inner and about the same from the outside rim to the wheel arch lip inside. So the 10" rim will fit fine , how wide on the slick can I go? Yes I measured on both sides as we know...
