Cragar Magnums
I just bought some Cragar Magnum 510,s.(2)each 15x7 and (2) each 15x8 from Jegs.Thay have Aluminum centers with a steel rim.Cost a little over $600 delivered.Look great.Maybe another option for you.
Fender Tag
When I bought the car back after 17 years,the former owner had the fender tag.I thought I had kept it and lost it.Good news for me.
I hope this information helps.Parting the car out is not an option.I am not the first person that bought a car without a VIN tag.Anyone else?
70 Challenger progress and VIN tag question
Still working on the undercarriage.Rebuilt the leaf springs(new galvanized plates,clamps,bushings and paint).
I am sure I am not the only person with this issue.The black interior was installed in the car many years ago.The dash has no VIN tag.I was...
Mufflers no resonators
My mistake.I was thinking of installing the mufflers in their normal position without the resonators.It would appear most people install the mufflers under the floor pan leaving the sides of the fuel tank clear for tail pipes.
Moparleo has a point,would be quiet,too...
I never have seen this setup but I am looking to install the mufflers in their original position minus resonators.Most people install mufflers in the resonator position and avoid the original muffler position.This will give the car a very clean bottom.Any thoughts?
Rallye Hood
The car has a rallye hood,non crumple.I would like to put 340-Four Barrel emblems on the hood but I hear it was not a 1970 option.
I am trying to decide how stock I should build the car.I like the longitudinal stripes and Go-Wing.My car is stripe delete and the Go-Wing was not...
Just bought (2) 15x7 and (2) 15x8 Cragar 510's.Been out for less than a year.Steel rim with alloy center just like the old s/s.Will install 235/60-15 and 255/60-15 tires soon.
They look great and the price from Jegs with shipping was just right.Would like to get American Racing 17" AR500's...

PICS
Finally figured out how to resize.
In the process of cleaning the undercarriage and rear suspension.No rust,a little dirt,not much undercoating.Lots of work though.Scraping and sanding by hand.I live in a home owners assoc so have to keep the noise down.It is Ok ,I will no every square...
Is it possilble to redo the texture on 1970 Challenger headlight bezels?Bought some very straight bezels but they had been sanded smooth and painted.Thanks for any ideas.
Sorry I have been away from the forum for awhile.Been working too much overtime.Good news is I have more money to restore the car.
Last time I was on the Forum,I found out my car was numbers matching and was not sure how to proceed.I did disassemble the car to a rolling shell and had it...
Posted some pics today.Sorry about the car being dirty.Been busy on it.
After removing the first layer of paint on the door,I found a Door Tag,not riveted metal but a decal.I knew the door had been replaced becuase of the Sublime paint.The tag/decal numbers are JS23H0E112951.Typo,years ago?
The transmission is also numbered correctly.
Now I need to decide whether to restore the car to original or modify it a little:disc brakes,larger wheels/tires,better exhuast,Go-Wing,Black side stripe and stay with the Black interior that is in the car.Should be Orange.
Most modifications would...
Thank you DetMatt1,
Being the Mopar novice I am,I believed the person who came and looked at my car 18 years ago when I was selling it.He showed me the numbers on the front of the engine and told me it was not a numbers matching car.
The car is numbers matching.Yahoo.
I am looking at a set of 17x7 and 17x8 Polished or Chrome Cragar 500's for my 1970 Challenger.The tires will be a 50 series.The 40 serires may be too short in height for me.
