A good Friend sold me Strange brakes, springs, coilovers and ever other part needed for 100 dollars to change my Duster over to 4 3/4 inch bolt pattern so I could get away from the 5 bolt 4 inch Mopar pattern. It was all for a spindle type wheel and smaller brake pads so I ordered new Strange brakes and sent the struts out for a rebuild so everything was ready to race. The weld wheels I ordered were going to take 3 weeks to build but weld Racing finished them up 10 days early. got my tires mounted today and the front end is now race ready. Come-on April. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

I had cable stops before and that was the only thing I could play with. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

The first one was to get the car back home I borrowed the wheels off the Daytona. Second if I ever hurt a tire I can borrow the tires for a weekend or two. And I may flip these on the Daytona once in awhile. These are the Daytona rims. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time
