[Chrysler300] Special Stockton 300 Replacement Wheels



Hi to all,

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE REGARDING THE STOCKTON WHEEL PROJECT.

I want to thank all of you who have participated in this project. I have
your names, ranks and serial numbers. We have plenty of 14 inch pre orders
and minimal 15 inch pre orders. The 15 inch guys are chomping at the bit
though.

Special thanks to the "G" guys who have brought all the samples and also
there will be someone driving their "G" to Stockton to try on a wheel.

My "F" wheel just got delivered and there will be an "F" hubcap brought over
in addition to the 1960 Chrysler regular hubcap that I sent.

WE NEED SOMEONE TO DRIVE AN "F" OVER TO STOCKTON once he has made up a
prototype.

We are losing some good will with my contact @ Stockton who has been most
cooperative since he has gotten 40 phone calls directly from various people
and some of us have "spun his wheels".

Got to straighten some things out:

1. These wheels are at a special price including powder coating. $85 for 14
inch and $105 for 15inch.

2. Regarding the 15 inch wheels, he had made them for someone before and
they are readily available for $135 each. We must pre order 24 wheels to get
the special price. So far we have 4 from Jeff Gretz - with interest from Ed
Jasinski and from Tony Bevacqua. There may be more.

3. These wheels are an OEM replacement that is made to modern standards (AND
ARE STRONGER) and will support radials, in addition to bias ply, and will
accommodate discs as well as drum brakes. Forgive me if I construed that as
meaning "racing" wheels. I also would have considered the original 300
wheels as racing wheels. Nuf Said!

4. How about having the C-D-E-H-J & L owners wait until the "F" 14inch
wheels are prototyped and tried on a "F" and the "G" 15 inch wheels are
tried onto a "G" and then see if they fit the rest of the alphabet.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Tony
