I picked these wheels up from a local buddy in town. The bs is .75" out further then my normal wheels. They fit fine with this little 26x8.5" outlaw slick. But when I put a 28x10.5 or larger tire it might hit the quarter panel. And I plan on putting a larger tire on it if I keep these wheels.
Here is how it looks now. These are 15x10 with 3.75" bs. My normal wheels are 15x10 with 4.5" bs. You guys think it will work?







Next to a 275 pro on my 4.5" bs wheel.

 

I painted the rusty rotors and axles.

 

Wheels look great, very nice build.

 

So some of you know I crash at the LS Fest. For the ones who don't know, I think my car over heated and pushed water out of the over flow or water pump wheep hole and the car went hard right spinning out of control at around the 1000' at about 135 mph..
Here is the end result.





GoPro in car view.

 

I put it on a frame rack tonight and started getting things back in shape. Lucky for me this is what I do for a living.





The right frame rail is mashed back a few inches on the right side. It will get cut off after pulling a little.

 

Glad you are okay. The car will be fine again in no time it seems.

 

Sorry to hear! Seems like you'll get it taken care of.

 

hated to see it happen but glad your ok. get it fixed up so we can put them back in the beams again.

did they not tear off your chassis cert sticker? doesnt appear the did in the pic

 

No they didn't. That would of pissed me off. I just paid good money to get it inspected this year.

It will be in the burn out box in 4 weeks.

 

That's what I like to hear.......NMCA World Finals?

 

i was in shock when i saw the old girl Jeff!! i remembered you saying you did body & paint for a living, good thing you do frame straightening too i guess. glad it wasn't any worse and you walked away from it. why not cut the horns and go tubular if you don't mind me asking?

 

Yes sir. That's my goal.
I knew you would be when you seen it lol. I have no reason I'm not doing all of it. But I think it interferes with some classes were the core support has to be stock.

 

Cool! I won't get to see the True Street passes this year. I can't come down on Saturday due to my Brother's Wedding on Saturday I'm the Best Man, so I can't skip out . Will be there on Sunday for sure (if there is one this year).

 

Right on Scott. I hope the wedding goes good!

 

Well I got to work on it today for about six hours. I picked up two decent fendes from a buddy for free and I went to "pull-a-part" and picked up a front bumper cover that was in ok shape for a 89 mustang.
Another guy I know does fab work on mustang and he made me a trick power radiator support and new tubular front bumper bar all out of chromoly.
I picked up a nice All Star chevy universal radiator that fit like it was made for this car. I am moving the over flow tank to the trunk and running a 3/8" hose from the rad to the trunk, behind the tire. Just in case.

 

 

looks good. I really like the idea of moving the overflow behind the tires. anyone know if that is NHRA legal?

 

Now its looking like a car again.

 

Get a load of this picasso.

 

My guy who made the tubular stuff has a very fast car and he says that everything that over flow or vents like a oil catch can, should be behind the tires on a car.
