It will light the rears in the dry Porkie

Have left some horrible black lines in the street around my neighbourhood

Have you slid across the bonnet?

If I had one I would HAVE to do that, even if I had to diet first

It's a dodge. best brake and handling mods we be not to drive it

Are the new wheels you got for the rear proper Vectors?

Am planning a front disk conversion - there is one available using Viper disks & calipers butthe guy is waiting for some spindles for the kit
Might change the rears to disks too

Its not something to drive quickly though - I'll keep that to the Escos

Yes they are Genuine 20+ yr old American Racing Vectors that have never been fitted

I take it you have extensive experience of driving 38 yr old Mopars ??

Dangerous, I would LOVE to see it drifted at one of the D1 shows by a proper driver

Bet the crowds would LOVE it would it hurt the car that much? Stav?

I bet Glen would sort out something and some tires and stuff.

Does anybody else think thats a cool idea or am I having a shocker

Or.... what about some jumps

I have just read all about Lee1 and its restoration! wow, cool story!

Not personally but I know a couple of guys who have been building and restoring american cars for alot of years and have spoken to them alot about chargers as i've always wanted one. I still want one though, even if it's only to drive around at 10 miles an hour Not quite as much as I want a 55 chevy though to do a replica of the one in Two Lane Blacktop, I love that thing even more than the general.

How did you manage to get a set of proper Vectors? They're rare as

Porkie seeing that driving in the D1 would be amazing

Porkie, it would be awesome to watch it in D1, but it just wouldnt be able to change direction quick enough to actually be any good I suspect!
