Do you have pics of the 16x16 and 33.5x17-16's on it? Looks like thats a 10.5w tire, also did you move your wheel base back?

It looks like you only streteched the rear side of the fender well. Also who's rear fiber glass piece is that with the precut wheelie bar section?

I am doing mine the same as yours up front with a 3/4 chassis as well. Check out my 25.2 big tire project post and feel free to give any opinions and list suggestion, do's and don't you would have changed on your car.

BTW what's it weigh and whats the front rear weight distribution?

The car was originally built for eastside for outlaw 10.5 but was set up for big tire also.I am not sure of the exact specifics on the wheelbase.The bumper is an overbeek and I think the quarters were stretched to meet the bumper.I bought the car in febuary the way it looks in the pictures it was built by Bruce at http://www.exstremefab.com/ the car is now back there for final mockup and assembly.I dont have any current pics but the next time I go to the shop I will take some and try to post them.

Cool.... dying to see it, bad *** car

Also what is the details on the front strut stuff what did you go with, I saw the AJE, is yours all moly? What's something like that run, the entire kit struts, k-member, rack, a-arms, all come out to? I'd like to go to that to drop some more weight to offset the BBC I am going with.

The front struts and k member setup is aje it was on there when I bought it so I am not sure on the cost.Honestly though thats probably the only thing about the car I dont like.give me a bit to test it out but I will probably upgrade the front next winter with a front half and REAL struts strange,santhuff .

Heres a couple of pics of my 1170 hp 565bbc.
just trying to figure out how to post pics

That's sort of what I want to do, big inch BBC with a small shot maybe 200-300 and 10.5-1 compression with a 600" motor some place around 900-950 hp, then down the road run a turbo or blower and run it on alky. What heads did you go with? I was thinking of going with a 390cc sportsman setup.

I think OUTLAW, Dave Bowman, the 7 sec camaro turbo drag radial car runs the same setup as you AJE, I think he said something about them paying contingency.
