SAM The BeaSSt Update #2
SAM The BeaSSt Update #2 I don't want to flood one post with too many pics, so I'll start another...
The BeaSSt rebuild: Day 2
Full car here... Blane and I have taken out all of the unneccesary connectors and wires. (Traction control, air bags, ABS, radio, climate control, etc). David has also started with the bling bling pimp action by cleaning up the ends of the Moser axles.

Here is Mika (Stephen) displaying the Bogarts...I still cannot believe how light these things are. Those are also the MT "S" series meats...
<img src="http://www.thebeasst.com/wheels.jpg" alt=" - " />
...and...we will include the fuel cell as well I guess...
<img src="http://www.thebeasst.com/fuel_cell.jpg" alt=" - " />
Mr. Sean Freese will be joining us tomorrow around lunch-time for the motor install. Motor, dash, and interior panels should be in by tomorrow night. More pics to come.

Re: SAM The BeaSSt Update #2 Man I like those wheels! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> Are they lighter than Drag Lites? How much?
You guys are going to have one of the best looking cars at the event. <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

Re: SAM The BeaSSt Update #2 Bogarts guarrantee to have the lightest wheels on the market...but the aluminum they use is extremely and it is strictly a drag strip rim, not like a weld that is too and we drive them on the street <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
you'll bend a bogart pretty easily with a good pot hole

Re: SAM The BeaSSt Update #2 I dont care what Bogart says, I cracked 2 rear drag on fly's and never hit a pot hole and I now have the drag on 3's which are the killer billets and they are so out of round from 100 miles of street driving its sick. I never bent a drag lite in tens of thousands of miles. The Bogarts are much lighter and softer. I saved 12lbs overall with 15x9.75 and 15.3's over the equivalent size drag lites

But they dont say anything about guarranteeing them from bending from street miles, just ask Y2K BlackBird <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
