my 70 barn find

[usaroadrunner]

For what it is worth, I have 245/60R15s on the front of my 70 Road Runner. They are on 15x8 rims with 4.5" backspacing. They fit perfect with no rubs. Obviously, we are talking a different rim diameter here, but the tire is still a 245 tread width. I would think with the right backspacing, you should be able to fit a 245/??R18 wheel on the front (not sure what the sidewall would be, maybe a 30?).

That RMS suspension kicks it out a little more than stock. Just have to make sure before I order the rims. Thanks hsorman

Sweeeeeeeeet! Man is it coming together, you picked a good crew to handle the build for sure. The hood, suspension, door handles, stance, panel fitment....... THE WHOLE CAR KICKS ***!!! Give those guys a hug for me, they're doing you well.

Holy Crap! It doesn't feel like that long ago I checked in and SO MUCH PROGRESS!!!

Where to begin! Stance is on point! body panels are looking damn near perfect and that hood is just a sick sick piece, love seeing how far this car has come so quickly.

I'm getting excited!!!

Well my body man an I sitting around and I told him I hate those rectangular side marker lights. Just not cool. I wanted maybe something with trimmed in chrome maybe and he said I got an idea let me do this I think you will like it. I said go for it. Well. I love it , flush mounted 1968 marker lights. What ya guys think.

I don't think you are paying your body guy enough.

I love them - they are a nice custom touch that will make a Mopar guy suddenly stop and scratch his head. Those are the cool little details that will make people hover around your car and "discover" all the cool little touches.

Sold!

X2 very cool indeed .

Just another cool touch to an already badass build.

I like that idea....a very cool custom addition to the build.

Looks great! 68 side marker lights are coolest!

Where did you get that at?

I hate to be negative but I assume you asked for honest opinions and not just "Looks great" responses so here goes mine...
I like the round recessed look, just not on a 70.
Also, I believe the larger side markers were a federal safety requirement, not that that really matters.

I finally found that piece and the bumper supporters on eBay, AMD, and tamaraz had them for sale. I spent the xtra an got AMD ones.

Absolutely socal, point taken. I just fell in love with them. If we all liked the same what fun would that be. Thanks socal440gtx
