Yes.

I really think we need Caleb to sign in when he gets back to give us the details of the car. After all he is the man behind the machine. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Show was pretty light this year. The OG cars where there on each side of Caleb's car. I will post those pics soon.

I am gonna guess that the original comment was an error in phrasing. I know for a fact that the SCW worked very hard to get this car ready for Caleb to show it at Vettefest. I think they did an outstanding job. Caleb isn't my son but I sure the heck am very proud of him. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Seeing the pics on Caleb's ride is enough to get the sleep rubbed out of my eyes and force me back into the garage.

Belair,
I do have a full page black &amp; white ad showing the Challenger mounted with an M/T Super Stock drag slick. There's also another small ad for them in one of my old catalogs, maybe Honest Charley. I don't have anything scanned though.
I know the wheels have often been referred to as "M/T Radars". They do look very similar, but I don't believe Radar ever produced a 3-rib spoke. I've often wondered if Mickey Thompson modified a Radar mold and added the two extra ribs, then marketed his own wheels. Each wheel is cast with "M/T 1965" inside the back of one spoke.
I think they're great looking wheels, but I'm sorry, those "radir" things just rub me the wrong way, no matter how cool the car is. Can't help it.
Belair62
03-15-2005, 06:22 PM
Strange..I'll have to post a pic of those M/T #1 wheels...can you post the pics you have of the Challengers ? They may hve re-named them. I think mine may be earlier than 65...the aluminum center is riveted to the outher steel chrome wheel and they are NOS. Sears actually sold wheels like this too...I have a couple in big Pontiac bolt pattern ! I would think Mickey had them first...Camarojoe...what do you have on these ?
Verne_Frantz
03-15-2005, 07:14 PM
Yes, it's possible Sears did sell them. Mine are all rivited like that as well, which causes them to leak. You have to seal the rivit heads before mounting the tires. I also have a set of 5" circle. They were on a '64 Bonneville.
I'll try to get the ad scanned.

I know they were made in 1,2 &amp; 3 rib designs early on.....Whatever was popular was commonly "stolen" and repopped even back in the day. M/T Radir,Rader,Fenton ect..All had a pretty similiar wheel.Different is good.I think it is refreshing to see a car without Cragers,Torq-Thrust,Rallys,XT's....Show us your Fly's, Spyders,Strippers,Slots...There used to be more wheel combos than cars... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

The Kart was the #1 target for the kids... they were trying to buy it from me all weekend. The 3 year olds were the worst, I picked at least three out of it as they were seated - going for a ride. Wonder if any of them will now grow up wanting the real thing??

The cars scored well. The Yenko did a 999 and the COPO did a 999 as well. The Dana Nova did a 998 and won the Top Gun Best of Show Award for restored cars. All three cars were Gold Spinner Award winners. Also Phil Borris Gold Spinnered with his super clean 93 Indy Camaro. The show was not as well attended this year, but I was told spring is a harder show to fill for some reason. We talked to a ton of nice people and many SCR board members were there as well. Darren X33, Ann Hartweg, Ken Barnhart, Rick Peters, Rich Gregory, Bob G, Ron Norman, Pete Gerling, Frank and Frank jr, and many more. Everyone is looking forward to the SCR8. It was an enjoyable show and we sure liked talking to all the members of the board. We had just as many people behind the ropes as were in front of them all weekend...BKH http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif
