My first set of cragars, always wanted a set. Im in the process of a disc brake (front) upgrade and needed to go bigger with the rims. They are 14 x 7 all around, got a good deal on them. The rear leaf springs are basically shot- perfectly horizontal with no load so thats next on the list.


I still need to put them on the other side (notice the curb?) yeah, par for the course as they say.
The other picture is of my helper -all he does tho is eat, s**t, and sleep.

Hey, nice ride!

Looks great with those new wheels, gotta love that black 'n' chrome look. Plus it's always good to see a four door

Hmm, I'd be interested to see what you get done with those leaf springs. Mine are 'W' shaped they are so out of shape . . .

Lookin' sharp! I've got the Cragars on my '62. They seem to go well with that body style.

Thx, I like the body style with 'em too, theres some mesmerizing effect that comes into play. Those wheels had been on the shelf for a few years at a shop here and I've had my eye on them since my 66 dart (got towed, lien sale, no money, etc). I like the slot mags too but, to use the vernacular, "deez gots dat blang" lol.

If there were more hours in the day and more money in my wallet I would try to fabricate some (don't laugh) carbon fiber leafs springs myself based on the design of some fiberglass ones I've seen, flex-a-form I think? But they are big bux- Probably going to go with some cheap helper springs for the time being.

I love it! Very nice. The early body style looks great in black and the Cragars really set it off nicely.

Growing older is unavoidable but growing up is strictly optional.

HA HA HA My wife has a helper like that that also drinks Pepsi out of a glass.

A friend of mine always finds a neighbour's cat in with his engine when he is working on his diesel F*rd. He claims he is the first person ever to de-cat a diesel. That joke wears thin . . .

What size tires did you go with-- the rears can really take some rubber !!! 235's on mine in the linked picture

Cragars look good on just about every '60s and '70s cars. I always knew when I got a car, I would put cragars on it. I bought mine and it already had them on it! Saved some money right there. Gotta love em!

That's a good looking car.

I thought all the early 60's Valiants came out of the factory with flat leaf springs.

Very cool! I didn't think the early Valiants could pull off Cragars that nicely.
