    A tip on those enter caps. Convert them to studs, then they will be easy to install.

      I was going to suggest the same. Also an O-ring on the inner cap keeps it snug.

    Danny and Liv! Put right lug studs on the left side. Makes it so much easier to deal. And yes,the right interchange with no issues. Did it on my 70 Super Bee. When I worked at B&B Auto Parts, sold a lot of studs to convert, with no issues!
    Keep the videos coming! Enjoy watching you kids!

    Happy New Yea guys. I really enjoy your vibe. I MEAN THIS WITH TOTAL RESPECT..I think you guys are an awesome couple so stay strong with the bond. You are a lucky man bro. I know no one is perfect but ladies like Olivia are like UNICORNS. Very attractive, a CAR GIRL and she really seems to have your back. LOL if you can clone her please lmk 😉. Can't wait to see "THAT OL BLACK CHARGER" ride again!! All the best.

    @McBuggs. 9 місяців тому +5

    Instead of black, a charcoal colour would be a great choice for the Charger. It'll accentuate the colour between body lines nicely and allow those angles and shapes to stand out. The wheels are perfect, nice fit into the fender wells.

    The nuts you welded on are keeping it from being able to move that direction. You could use nut certs or grind down about almost half the nut should give you side to side clearance

      Yup, 295/50/15 not only fits, but looks great, like the car is tubbed. I mocked them up on a really crusty pair of 15x10 Cragars with a 4.5” backspace on my ‘70 Charger and loved it. Looking for 15x9 or 15x10 steel wheels to use the poverty caps on.

    Charger paint... maybe black with gold two tone or pin stripes to match your Gnarly logo? Thoughts? Maybe gold flames?

  • @MJTAUTOMOTIVE
    @MJTAUTOMOTIVE 9 місяців тому +1

    I know You were in a hurry to get the trunk mounted, But by welding the nuts to the trunk hinge, You just lost a lot of the adjustment. It would of taken less than 10 minutes to cut a strip of sheet metal out of a piece of scrap the same width and length as the other side and welded 2 nuts to that. Those nuts are captive in that strip so the bolts can move, Giving you back to front and height adjustment. Maybe If You get time You should think about changing it, otherwise when you do you panel fit up it won't fit and you will spend days trying to get it to fit nice. Nice wheels for the Charger BTW.

I also put the 15" in Magnum 500's with the same size tire front and back that you did except mine were the BFG's. In the front I have an issue with tire tire rubbing the frame when fully turning. I am wondering if you are having the same problem?

    Ok stupid question: is the Charger what they built the Dodge Daytona on? And wasnt something different about the rear window on Daytonas like angle or size of rear window, maybe both? Changing the wheelstuds so they are the same all round it makes life easier, but kinda fun keeping it like factory wanted it and you will both learn fast how to change the 'quirky' way anyway. So happy to see proper sized wheels and tires with sidewalls as it should look and none of the 20-22" wheel tire combos 😢 But maybe try for clearance with a set of slicks, just in case.. 🤔
