Are these made in the USA or they imported like most cast wheels are these days?
I will try to dig some old pics up and scan them, with the clutch-turbo, a 427, and the AWB, it was a wheelie-machine! They'd run in "Run Tuff"...
I agree, great stuff for sure!
As a follow-up to that post, US 30 was a track in Gary Indiana that closed in the 80's for those who may be from out of state.
So what would my friends 55 be? As with the Mopars, and even the Lil' Screamer, the rear axle was moved forward to get better weight transfer and...
So my buddies "run tuff" eliminator 55 Chevy would be considered what under your definitions? Not saying that the clever Mopar guys did not get...
Hah! I made that mistake early on posting on here. Guess us drag racing guys not being up on the lingo can be dangerous.
Also, please refer to the bold.
I have a big block race car that has no grille opening. You should be fine. Plenty of air will draw from under the bumper if necessary.
It does have an altered wheel base, look at the wheel well and how it goes into the door.
This car was for sale in National Dragster for like $200K. Was not even an original factory race car nor did it have a famous pedigree!
For drag racing, it'd be equal visibility of the tree in both lanes. Also, I am not small, and the inside of these cars is not big. Sticking me...
That makes sense. So seating position and ride height will definitely play a huge role if the car was built this way. This is a configuration...
For you drag racers, if someone wanted to build an early 30's Ford coupe race car with a center-seat/steer configuration, how would you start? Is...
The bottom polished one is a Billet wheel and the top is cast. I would guess it is a 7" or so?
Does anyone know if the Wheel Vintique aluminum wheels are still made domestically? [IMG] [IMG] I was looking at a few other brands (comparable...
Who makes the best hairpins in stainless for a '32 Ford? Are they American made?
Does anyone have any pictures showing how good (or bad) this may look? I have a ball-park idea what they'd look like on a 4 or 4.5" wheel (used...
The car already has Radial T/A's out back on 8" wheels (255's), however the front tires (8 ply, 26" M/T Sportsmans) are dry rotted and need to be...
The BFG catalog says the max wheel width on their 155-80's would be a 5.5". Could they be ran safely on a 6" wheel or is 5.5" the limit?
I got into a discussion this weekend with some "old school" rodders. I was under the impression alot of the guys just shot DP90 and we done....
Is there much of a reproduction market for the '64 and '65 B-Body Mopars? I would like to build one, however I fear that I will be relegated to...
Has anyone used a single stage yellow paint that is close to a base-coat/clear-coat finish? We would be looking to go with the "chrome yellow"...
Looking into doing flames on car where the current color is bright red. Anyone have any slick flame paint jobs on a bright red car?
A '65 Nova 2-door post has a different roof line and a different rear window. [IMG] [IMG]
I am sure this is more of a racing thing, but has anyone built a car with a center-seat? Looking through the nostalgia photos, it seems common in...
For you 33/34 guys, what is the biggest you can go on tire diameter before the wheelwells start to look odd and need modification?
It looks awesome!
Has anyone built (or have any pics) of a '33 or '34 Ford coupe that has a 115" or greater wheelbase? Do people just stretch the hoods to do this...
Anyone have any Oswego, IL photos or additional US 30 in Gary, IN photos?
