I'm glad you said something, I sort of forgot about it this year. I'll have to check the calendar and get back to you. I'll say something to Ryan too. We enjoyed it last year. - Apparently my other friends (Rick :D ) will not be attending! haha

Rick can be happy / grumpy at the same time whilst enjoying his car in the garage while working on projects around the house.

We can have a blast at the show in union bridge. Tell Ryan he can even bring some newish non MōPar thing that he is currently driving and plans to flip in the next 6 weeks. :D :D
Then lets all go and get peach milkshakes! :shock: :shock:

I will probably toss the bike on top and go to the C & O Towpath sat night or Sun. morning for a few hours too!

9/11/25:

When I bought this car, the previous owner had upsized the wheels from the original 13" x 4" wheels to a mix of 340 swinger sized 14" x 1/2" wheel and some 14" x 4 1/2" wheels.

I got 2 more of the 14" x 5 1/2" wheels, bead blasted them and got my local paint shop to "camera" the paint to get a Match for PPG.

I just got the 2 wheels back from the painter, semigloss on the back with color on the front. Now all 4 wheels match in width.

5 1/2" wheel Left and 4 1/2" wheel on the Right:

While My Daughter was at band rehearsal tonight, I drove on over to the shop, and swapped the tires from the narrow rims to the newly painted rims.
I also was able to install new TR413 Valve stems and Toss the wheels on the balancer for a static balance.

First scratches with the wheel gun and poppin' the dogdish on for the first time makes me all warm 'n fuzzy inside. :shock:

Looks great, Greg! 5.5" will be a much better width for those tires. I remember doing that upgrade back in about 1989 and was very happy with the results. Wider is better!

I believe I still have some Wider ~7" AL wheels for the SBP from my '69 dart (only 2) , but they are still in 14" diameter I think. I might just like to experiment with some other options but keep these wheels / tires for looks.

I would like to throw some 225 50 15 or possibly 235 50 / 55/ 15's on as they have waay better UHP tire selection than the 215-70-14's that are currently on the car. Those oddball (nowadays) tires are usually relegated to the clearance rack and always all season tires with poor tread wear and grip.
