M68, yeah the rear tires on Cam's car were excessive. I tried buying that car in '99 and there were some serious concessions done to that car for speed regardless of originality, rear rails were relocated inboard for those huge slicks. Regardless a neat car with lots of western Canadian racing heritage. Somehow i ended up with a few of the leftovers from that car a while back. Sadly Cam passed away last year.

Sure like the look of the skinny tires on the back of the Hustlin Hemi...what are those 7" rims with 9" slicks? what was the tire of choice up front 6.70x15, 7.10x15? Finally found a set of 15 x4 Cragars for mine but I need to change tire size.

KB,

One of the first magazines to do a feature on the Hemi Cuda,
was Super Stock & Drag Illustrated
June 1968, of Sox & Martins SS/B.

The photo shoot was done in late-March 1968 or early-April.

That car won the SS/B class at the 68' Springnationals, beating Arlon Vanke in the class finals.
Ran a best of 10.43 (.42 under) the 10.85 index.
But broke (spun a tire off the rim) in the 2nd round of S/S Eliminator.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 
I was going thru some of the first pages of this thread and saw a post by Mark J that the McJury Dart was not found yet (posted after 08 reunion)...I understood @ the reunion that it was sorted out. Any updates folks? Chuck was looking over my car pretty hard @ the reunion...
