So, got some new rims/tires. While I like the B.F.GoodRich it seems they are everywhere so I thought I'd try something differnet. Well, these pic's aren't the best (still need to paint the front brake drums) but I wanted to share!











Bryan

Shiny!!! Crazy blue swirl on pic 3.

Wow! That combo really brings that car to life. I wouldn't be taking those off anytime soon.

Sheldon

Now that's more like it.
You can put the white lettering on the inside.

lookin' good Bryan!

What did you end up going with for tire size?
I also like the steelie look, but yours (being narrower than the stock 15x7's) looked too small and they needed RWL's; looks much better.


Dave

Tnx guys, I was torn between these and the stock 15" Rallye's so now I need to get tires for them!

Dave, I agree the steel wheels were to narrow and had only painted them to have on the car while it was being worked on. The tires are 275/60/15's on the rear and 225/70/15's up front. Exactly the look I wanted and am really happy with them.

I painted the front drums this morning and will get the rears done to match the next rain day!!!

Here's a few more pictures...

Bryan

A couple of night shots! I really need a better camera!







Bryan

So what you are saying is that your car is to good for your camera right.........send the car to me and problem solved. I am glad I can be of service so when can I expect the car.

Well, I really feel I've come full circle w/the 70 Super Bee "Replica"! We entered it in an all "Mopar" show over the weekend and took Best Dodge which was not an easy accomplishment considering the quality of cars presented.

I'm finishing off this thread with a huge thanks out to my wife Shannon for all her support, our boy Brady (my future wrench turner), Jeffery for the body and paint (and countless hours or extra work), Darrell for the drive train work and my father Donnie for all his help!

Lastly, tnx to you guys & gals for your comments and putting up w/me! By far the best website/community out there!

Bryan

From this....



To this....in two short years!!!!





Done.....

Congratulations Brian on a job well done by you and the others.
Wear it well you've earned it.

Bryan, did you ever send a pic of the completed car and trophy pics to the previous owner, would have loved to see the look on his face.

Robert, I do keep on touch w/the previous owner and he's seen the pictures of the completed car. He likes the outcome....

So, we brought the Bee out to its second show on the 22nd of June and got "Best Mopar". Again, very proud/happy with our Coronet!

Bryan

... a few updates.

We hit the Sackville Kinsman show this year and scored best Mopar.





Bryan

...next show was an all Mopar show at Blaikies Dodge in Truro N.S. Lots of very cool cars and we were voted "People's Choice"... the top award, amazing!





Bryan

...last show of the year for us was the local Dartmouth Dodge/Mopar Maritime Show the end of Aug. We were voted "Best Dodge"....!





Bryan

In the latest issue of "Canadian Hot Rod" the Coronet made an appearance. We are really happy with the car...!
