The only think not periods correct is most likely going to be the paint. I really want to do it a candy brandywine over heavy grey metal flake. I even have the Lakewood 3 point bar!!

I like authentic Day 2 equipment more than most, but there is always a compromise. Either you have less safety for the speed you run or less speed in the name of marginal safety.

Sometimes the old copper and worse- lengths of plain rubber fuel line just aren't a good idea when the car is capable of 10 second E.T.

Yeah. But CANDY. BRANDWINE was s popular color back then, More so on High End Exotic Drag Cars like Fuel Coupes , Gassers Altereds etc.
Especially seen on ISCA Show Cars / Drag Car entries.....no issue there because its not fogged or laced.

Paul, 100% agreement here..... SAFETY OVER ,PERIOD ,,,,,,RULES EVERYTHING !
That's why my Cragar SS are New as are the LAKEWOOD Drag Shocks... Center force clutch assembly..... etc....all new neoprene high solvent hoses , NO COPPER or Aluminum Fuel lines except in the COOL CAN.......

AND NO FIBERGLASS FLEX FANS !!!!

Yeo, I bought some various sizes at Summit
3 years ago..... they brought me out multiple boxes and I hand picked the 6 I wanted
Fantastic Service !

The best thing I did was replace the new SS caps with OLD Ones. . Bigger crisper Script and the Correct Blue

AGREED! No sense in risking your safety as well as others because a specific part that is now made a hell of a lot safer is not &quot;period correct&quot; some parts you just have to sacrifice to make it more enjoyable! Yeah you're right about the candy, Jon mazmanian had a candy red vette and Willy's gasser. Also Fred Gibb had that candy apple red zl1! Thanks for all the help guys this is why I come in here to get some good advice! And I will be sure to post pics and a build thread!

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Day2_69Z</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Not Exactly what pics you've requested....
Here is 10 inch wide rubber x 27 inches on
8 inch wheel with deep back space ....uncut sheet metal..on a 69 Body . 70's have a much bigger opening for a larger diameter tire with more room for width.





</div></div>

Any idea as to what the back spacing is?

Thanks,

Tim

X2 - would love to know what the backspace is on those 15&quot; x 8&quot; rears. Those wheels and tires look fantastic on your car Tom. Is the rear suspension stock?

I think Tom said he bought them from Summit. Maybe he could call them up and look at his history for the part number so others could buy this wheel?
