What To Do..........

I know, I know. .... the 5th has a look, but it can go a direction that gets real scary. I'd like to see a 5th front clip on an F bodied wagon. I bet somewhere there is a 5th hearse custom. Again the 5th can be a scary presence. I was always a bit scared when I saw my dad's 5th coming down the road. Likely, because I did something wrong somewhere (like not cleaning up the garbage cans or forgetting to put back his tools- and was going to get a beating. Like I said.... the 5th can be a scary car. I get a haunting feeling any time a beat up grey 5th rolls down the road.

what color is your interior?
I always see the red pinstripe, but doesn't look like red interior

 

[slant6billy]

Lebaron wagon..... now I know. My dad's uncle had one. Forgot about it until now. I dig the 5th grille with the vertical bars. Always a sharp look

Nice 5 hole slot. Is that factory?

Factory for early 80s Dodge Trucks yes.
They are 7"wide and heavy steel like a Police rim.

I saw a black fifth with the black vinyl roof and red interior. The guy had reverse offset chromed solids with wide T/A radials. Big fog lamps on it too. Looked like this:View attachment 5427 Well, Almost as sinister.....

Ever see the Movie The Car?

All the more reason I want to see it.
Now THAT'S using what you've got!!

 

[slant6billy]

Yup. Even though the George Barris custom was a 71 Lincoln Mark 2 or 3 to make " The Car". I always though cues from the Chrysler were there. Cordoba mixed with a 5th. Mopars always have a nice low roof look. Chevys need the "chop" and as well the old fords and mercs.

. Since I mention Lincoln and they share the 5 by 4 1/2 bolt pattern as do mopars. I'd experiment with the Lincoln wheels on the 5th. This crush spoke BBS style would be pretty common in the yards or the web. It might not be mopar, but it would look decent. Nice offset too, not this other modern crap with no deep offset. Or as I hear the guys with lift kits on Donks call them Bling wheels.

I agree, I like the Lincoln/Mercury BBS lace-spoke copies. I would have considered them for my Imperial but I've already got the rolling stock for that car covered. I don't think they'd look good on the Challenger.
