    Went to fire up the Old Girl yesterday after it had been sitting all winter. Battery had been connected to a Trickle Charger, so I thought it would be okay. Instead it was stone dead. Connected it to my regular Charger and it wouldn't hold a charge. Battery was just over 7 years old, so I decided it had seen better days and bought a new one. Installed it and the Old Girl fired right up. Took her out for a drive today and she ran great. I'm looking forward to the local Cruise Ins.

    I know this has been on the forum a million times. I am looking to to use my original stock GT wheels for my 69 GT Convertible. They are 14 inch wheels and I am looking to see what tire sizes others have used. I plan on putting 15 inch magnum 500's on it at a later date but for now the GT wheels will have to do.

     

    I have American Racing 14x7 Outlaw II's on my '69. I'm running BFGoodrich Radial TA 205/70's on the front, and 245/60's on the rear.

    The Carroll Farm Museum is having their 8TH Annual Surf & Turf/Summertime Fun Festival ON SATURDAY, JULY 20 FROM 2 TO 7 P.M. They are once again opening the grounds to Antique and Classic Car Enthusiasts to showcase their cars. The first 75 cars through the gates will receive a collectable car dash plate. There is space available for up to 200 cars and you will need to arrive at 12:30 P.M. Car Passes will be given out at GATE #4 to each car and are good for admission for two adults. Coolers will be allowed, but no Alcohol is permitted to be brought onto the grounds. The Knights of Columbus will be selling beer as a fundraiser for a very reasonable price.

    Hi, Sidthing. I believe there are two sizes for a car with a 9 inch rear. When I was ready to rebuild mine I ordered 10 x 1.75 Shoes which is what CJ's said were correct for a 351 2bbl car. When I disassembles the brakes I discovered that my car had 10 x 2's on it. For what it's worth, CJ's also said that the front shoes should be 10 x 2.25 for the fronts but mine were 10 x 2.50. So IMHO it could take either size depending what was available when your car went through the assembly line. If you still have the Drums, just measure the diameter and depth and order the shoes accordingly. Hopes this helps.

    Please DO NOT junk your spare parts. Post a list of what you have. We never know what people are looking for. Some people's Junk are other people's Treasures. Just ask interested parties to make an offer. Even if you you just want to recoup the Shipping Costs for an item, you will probably make someone's day.
