70 Challenger Hemi Convertible

[thedodgeboys]

I am building a 70 challenger Convertible with a 6.1 Hemi EFI and a 6 speed t56-magnum.

Coil over front suspension (rear will be converted next winter)with any touchups that may need to be completed but my mission is to be driving by july.

Thanks

Car is looking sweet! Just started a 70 challenger, do you know what is the widest wheel and tire set up you can put in the rear without tubbing? Trying to run 20s.. Thanks!:twothumbs

Makes me want to start my 73. Looking good.

With no mods to the rear probably a 9 in wide rim. If you relocate the rear leaf springs(cheap and fairly easy if you can weld) 11 inch wide with no issues.

12 inch wide is easy 13 incher would be close with the corect wheel offset and stance you could do it. :yum:

Dodgeboys,
Hey I've been following your build on Cuda-Challenger.com for some time. It's really turning out great. I'm doing a 6.1 '71 Challenger also.

Question on your Alterkation front. Is it possible to lower the ride height any additional amount (I'm not knocking yours :) It looks great as is-just info for my build). I haven't purchased my front suspension yet and I do want a low ride height within reason. Just looking for a first hand experience with a pro-touring E-body set up and trying to decide which way to go either Alterkation, AME bikini clip modified and welded in or XV. What size of front tire are you running?

Great pictures by the way!

Thanks, Wes

[Hotchkis]

Beautiful car, incredible paint. Really nice job - you should be proud.

Wes - we also have an option (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZX7jINa_ho) for those that want adjustable ride height and track ready handling without cutting.

[Motown 454]

Nice pictures, of a sweet ride . It looks great.

[LeighP]

I agree, a beautiful car...well done!

[thedodgeboys]

Thank you everyone it means a lot to me that you all like it.

I never thought it would turn out so good...:yum:

yes it can go lower 1 inch and I will lower it some more after the back springs settle a little more and I add 1 more inch of offset to the front wheels. (18 x 9 wide) I only have 150 miles on it and lots of tweeks left.

I am happy with the Alterkation lots of options rides great handels way better than the old stuff. :)

Wes,
Pretty good I guess my 6.1 isn't stock :machine:

If you'r thinking smoky tires none yet trying to put some time and miles on everything first. But she runs GOOD; 100 MPH comes pretty quick.:6gears:
