Below are pictures of the 14″ X 6″ Magnum 500 Wheels that will be used on the vehicle. It took a lot of effort to get the correct paint finishes and look of the original style Wheels. The taping alone took hours to get the proper results. We used an NOS Spare from a Mopar vehicle to use as a format to match the correct black sheen. The Coves, inside the Spokes, were a semi-gloss black finish. The back side of the Wheel and front Trim Ring area had a glossy black finish. NOS Red-line Goodyear’s will be fitted to the newly restored Rims. Also shown are a couple of photos with an NOS Center Cap in place.

Here are a few photos showing the “Custom” Drip Rail Stainless Steel Moldings. The front A Pillar section had to be lengthened a couple of inches to accommodate the lowering of the Door Belt Line. We originally were going to make the Trim a dark color but the Shiny Stainless border helped to “box” the Window Frame openings and make them look smaller.

There were many bewildered opinions about the Roof-line of this project while the vehicle was under construction. All of the Trim Components had to be positioned in order to provide the appearance we had planned for from the beginning. Below are a couple of photos showing what a 4 Door Barracuda might have looked like if it had been Factory built and released to the Public.

Here are a couple of photos showing detailing features that usually go un-noticed. One shows the Tail Light Harness part number Tag and the other shows the small pad that the Jacking shaft rests on when placed in the Trunk. It keeps the metal components from rattling and making noise when the vehicle is traveling over rough roads.

Here are a couple of “Before & After” photos showing a set of Factory Wheel weights that I restored for this project. They were lightly GLASS BEADED using low pressure air. (25-30 PSI) After the oxidation was removed, they were rigorously rubbed with OOOO Steel Wool and Mother’s Polish as a buffing/polishing agent. They were then rubbed clean with a soft cloth and given a Lacquer Thinner bath to remove any remaining residue. They were rubbed out one more time with DRY OOOO Steel Wool and then treated with our corrosion product, AMMO. The AMMO gave them a nice “NEW” looking finish and will keep them from oxidizing or getting dull over time. They should add a nice original touch to the Magnum 500 Wheels.
