The Street Rodder in me is not feeling the black wheels. I'm going with these. I got them at Wally World. They were in with a pickup truck as a spare set. I'll get the rake worked out later.
Got a little work done on the motor. Ran in the fuel lines between the carbs and added a filter made from clear tree. I drilled a small hole thru the piece and ran some yellow paint inside to simulate the paper inside. A little hokey but I don't hate it. Whatcha think?
Stay Tuned...
The wheels I finally decided upon came from a R/C car but they are skinny. All 4 of them. So I decided to make the rear ones deep dish. I did this by removing the tire then dremeled off the front lip. I shaved a 1/2" slice off of a pvc coupler and slid it on the rim. I like it. So I painted the coupler slice flat black.
I don't love the idea of murdered out wheels but this look is growing on me.
I'm using the front wheels with the stock tires.
She's got a bit of the Pro Touring look. I don't hate it.
To get the big rear wheels under the rear I had to remove the inner wells.
I wasn't happy with the stock rear so I cut the axle tubes off and reamed out the housing to make a real axle tube fit.
Stay Tuned...
You are not alone. I just finished up a '56 Bel Air I was excited with in the beginning but as time went on things kept going wrong. I'm glad you stuck with the Challenger. She looks great!
Thanks guys! Greg, not a lighting kit, just 5 LESs. 3 white and 2 red. Both are rated for 3V. If you run them in parallel (all + together and all - together) there is no problem.
