This means that trying to get a socket on the lug nuts, with the wheel center caps on the wheel, is very diffi cult. Unless you remove the cap, the socket has to be inserted at an angle which damages the lug nuts and can also damage the center cap. Removing the center cap is time consuming and tends to strip the holes. Our Billet Wheel Center Caps have the correct notch made in them to let the socket go on the lug nut correctly!

14 What Is It? Go To and give us your opinion! Dynacorn International, Inc. has been producing body panels, fenders, and many other restoration products for the Ford Mustang for many years. In fact, many of our Classic Mustangs, and possibly yours, has benefited from a quarter panel, hood or deck lid to bring it back to new condition. Being an aggressive company, it only stood to reason that one day Dynacorn would manufacture all the sheet metal pieces necessary to build an entire body shell. And, if you were to buy all those pieces, jig them up and weld them all together, you would have a new body shell to use to restore a Mustang with instead of trying to repair the twisted, wrecked and rusty one you have? Or, maybe Dynacorn would do all the work for you and you could buy a complete body shell for that restoration. That sounds even better, right? Well, I m here to tell you that day has arrived! At SEMA 2006, we saw Dynacorn s new body shell of a 1967\68 Mustang Fastback and I can tell you, it s a very nice product! This is going to have a real impact on the Mustang hobby because either way you look at it, there are good benefits and bad. If it s looked at as a restoration part, then these bodies will turn up as cars that have been wrecked or rusted out or, possibly even stolen vehicles that someone has a title to. And while the vast majority of these body shells may go to helping restore a Mustang that is wrecked or rusted beyond repair and will be put back into service, some will no doubt end up as big block S codes or even \2 Cobra Jet R codes that are worth mega bucks. On the other hand, if they are viewed as a new car and have to be licensed and given new serial numbers by each state, we all know that each state has different standards. Because of this, one that is licensed in one state may not be legal in another. Living in California, I can guarantee that! Also, if they are given new serial numbers, wouldn t it be possible for there to be more of these cars than original Ford Mustangs of the same body style one day? And what s going to prevent someone from buying the body and transferring the numbers from their wrecked or rusty Mustang over to it anyway and just not licensing it as a new car? Notice that I did not say Dynacorn s new 1967/68 Mustang Fastback body shell. That s because this product is made up of all sheet metal stampings that have been produced by Dynacorn, not by Ford Motor Company. So in the true sense of the word, it is not a Ford Mustang body shell. This brings up the question, What Is It? Is it just one, huge restoration part? Or, because all the smaller parts have been welded together, is it an actual new car that needs to be assigned a new serial number and licensed as a new car, or a kit car, by your state? It has to be one or the other, right? Or is it something else? OK. I m through with the what if s. What do you think? In your opinion, is this one of the greatest restoration products of all time or is it a boil on the butt of the Mustang hobby? Let us know what you think by going to our website at the address below and give us your opinion. And while you re there, check out what others are saying. I haven t really decided how I feel about so I look forward to hearing what your thoughts are. Convince me one way or another. I m looking forward to buying one of these shells and building it and I need to know what it is that I m building! Look for some of the comments we receive in a future issue of Restomod Magazine.

15 BACK SPACING You ll Sleep Better After Tucking Your Tires and Wheels In! TEXT AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY RON BRAMLETT OF MUSTANGS PLUS As many of you know, my wife, Cindy, and I drive this Restomod Mustang to shows all over the country. This April, we made the 5,000 mile round trip to the 40th Mustang Anniversary Show in Nashville, Tennessee. By the time you read this, we will have driven it to Wells, Nevada for the Wells Fun Run, to Park City, Utah for the Northern Utah Mustang Owners Association s MCA Mustang Car Show, to Santa Barbara, California for the Beach Cities Mustang Club s Show at the Queen Mary and will probably be getting ready to drive it to Las Vegas, Nevada for the Mustang Club of Las Vegas Bright Lights City Cruise and Show. Each time we go on one of these long distance drives, our poor little pony is loaded down when we leave the house and loaded even more, thanks to the fact that Cindy just loves to shop, by the time we get home. One thing we can t have on our trips is tire rub. Having wheels with the correct back spacing is what allows us to run the nice wide tires and wheels you see here without having to worry about tearing up the tires that we ve paid hundreds of dollars for; and enduring the agony of having to listen to it as it happens! As Restomods become more and more popular, we are constantly asked the question How big of tires and wheels can I get on my early model Mustang? The answer is, it depends on the back spacing of the wheel that you are trying to use. Back spacing is the X-Y factor that determines if your Mustang will suffer from that acute affliction we call Tire Rub. And, none of us want our ponies to suffer from this nagging type of hoof disease! In real terms, back spacing refers to the distance between the back face of the wheel, which is the area that is bolted against the brake drum or brake rotor by the lug nuts, and the back side of the rim of the wheel. When comparing the same width wheels, the greater this distance is, the further the wheel and tire set into the fender. Getting this measurement right is the difference between having a smooth driving Mustang that s a joy to drive or having a Mustang with a tire rubbing problem that drives you crazy. It takes a lot of fun out of driving if you constantly have to cringe in the seat every time you hit a bump or pull into a parking lot, waiting to see if one of your tires is going to rub. Cindy and I have owned our 1965 Black Restomod Coupe for 24 years. It has been a test bed for many of the Grab-A-Trak suspension products that Mustangs Plus sells today. It has had many different tire and wheel combinations tried on it with these suspension products. As it sets today, it has been lowered 2 all the way around from the stock height. It is equipped with American Racing 17 x 8 Torque II wheels with a 4 3/4 back space. The tires are 235/45-17 BF Goodrich g-force T/A s. This is the best fitting wheel and tire combination I ve been able to find for my 1965 Restomod Mustang. The 235 size fits the 8 rim very nicely and the tire doesn t get lost in the wheel well. Because we put so many miles on our Restomod Mustang, I prefer to have the same size tires on all four corners. This way I can rotate the tires and wheels for better tire wear. Going to a 245/45-17 tire makes it necessary to roll the fender lips, something I find most Restomod builders prefer not to do. I know this will sound strange, coming from someone who is so closely associated with Restomods, but as I stated above, I didn t want to roll the fender lips when I put the first set of 17 x 8 wheels on my 1965 several years ago. So I started looking at how to get a larger wheel under the car that would extend in towards the frame, not out towards the fender. I found that the biggest problem that all the 1965 to 1973 Mustangs have with the front end is upper ball joint clearance. Did you know that a 17 x 8 wheel will fit these cars much better than a 16 x 8 wheel? The reason is that the upper ball joint is almost right in line with the edge of the rim on a 16 wheel which limits the amount of back space that the wheel can have. And that means that on an 8 wheel with less back spacing, the front of the rim is moved closer to the fender and can create tire to fender rub, especially on 1965 and 1966 Mustangs. But the extra 1/2 of height that a 17 wheel has on the top and bottom allows the rim to just slightly pass over the top of the upper control arm. So 17 wheels can set further into the wheel well allowing more clearance to the tire and fender. Of course 18 and larger diameter wheels are even better, if you can find them with the correct back space. As an added note, 1967 to 1973 Mustangs have much larger fender openings so tire rubbing is a lot less of a problem. But, too much back spacing can allow tires to rub on the frame when turning, especially when parking. This can be worse than rubbing on the outside of the ORDER TOLL FREE! 316 Wheels

16 tire because you can be totally unaware of a rubbing problem until you have ruined a tire. Be sure to check the tire to frame clearance if you use a wheel with a lot of back spacing. On the rear of our little ponies, most of us look at the rear leaf springs and see that there is a lot of distance between them and the tire. So we assume that a wider tire and wheel will fit. But the leaf spring is not what will interfere with the tire first. The first place your rear tires will rub is on the front inside inner fender wheel well housing. Be sure to check this area for rubbing when using wheels with a lot of back spacing. The second place is on the back of the wheel well housing. Also, when changing from drum to disc brakes in the rear, remember that the brake drum you re taking off the car will be thinner than the brake rotor that you re putting on the car. This will move the rear tires just that much closer to the rear fender lips so you could have some tire rub where you had none before. Remember, I said that you could have some tire rub, not that you will. So what is the correct back spacing for our early Mustangs? Check out the chart for the most popular sizes of wheels and tires. Use this chart for a rule of thumb, not as fact. Tire shape and the condition of your Mustang can also effect tire clearance. And the condition and type of your suspension will also have a effect on tire rub. A worn out stock suspension that has a lot of travel and bounce will be a lot more likely to rub than a new firm suspension system that is designed not to let the body of the car roll. The Mustangs Plus catalog has over 50 different Spring and Handling Kits for you to choose from so there is one that s right for your Mustang, how you drive, and which wheel and tire you want to run. So remember. Tuck them in and sleep tight! 3 5 This diagram shows exactly what back spacing is. The left edge of the wheel is the front of the wheel that faces the fender. The right edge of the wheel is the inside of the wheel which faces the frame of the car. The line through the wheel shows exactly where the face of the wheel, the area that bolts to the brake drum or brake rotor, is. As you can see, on this 8 wide wheel, 3 of the wheel is towards the fender while the remaining 5 of the wheel, which is the back space, is to the inside. These pictures show the distance between the ball joint and the wheel on a 1966 Mustang. The wheel on the left is a 16 x 8 with a 4 1/2 back space. As you can see, it just barely misses hitting the ball joint. If it had any more back space, it would run straight into the ball joint. The wheel on the right is a 17 x 8 with a 4 3/4 back space. As you can see, the wheel sits over the ball joint without hitting it. The extra 1/4 of back spacing means that there is an extra 1/4 of tire clearance to the fender well and when it comes to tire clearance, that s a bunch! Wheel Back Tire Tread Tire Size Spacing Size Size Height 14 x 7 3 3/4 to 4 195/ / / x 7 3 3/4 to 4 205/ / / x 7 3 3/4 to 4 225/ / / Measuring the back spacing on any wheel can be accomplished by laying a straight edge across the wheel and measuring down to the surface that bolts to the brake drum or brake rotor. This 17 x 8 wheel has a 4 3/4 back space. The first place your rear tire will rub in the rear is not on the leaf spring. It will first rub on the front inside inner wheel housing that is shown here. This is a sharp edge that can be bent inward to clear the inside edge of the rear tire. But don t get too wild with those 5 pound hammers! 16 x 8 4 1/2 225/ / / x 7 3 3/4 to 4 235/ / What a difference a set of 17 tires and wheels can make! My nephew, Greg Bramlett, and his wife, Kim, just bought this 1964 ½ convertible, complete with 1966 spinner hub caps. So something had to be done. By simply bolting on a cool set of wheels and tires they now have the best of both worlds!
