    I made some changes to the car before the CHRR. The front wheels are American Racing magnesium LeMans 15x4's. The rears are single drilled Halibrand magnesium 16x13 Sprints with M&H Racemaster 13.00-16 slicks.

    The slicks are made for the Nostalgia Top Fuel guys, so the sidewall may not be ideal for a heavier door car. The car hooked pretty well on Saturday, but the 60ft's were off. I think it spun when the front wheels came down. It went 9.77 @ 133MPH.

    I also added the blue windows and a Superior blue metal flake steering wheel.

    That looks very wicked. Has the paperwork to backup the look too.
    Don't You have like a shit ton of mags? I'm kinda surprised you didn't have some halibrands on it before now. It looks great.
