How much was the rear end narrowed on the car?
Is the lower control arms in the factory location?

I wonder how many firehawks in BPM were built in 98? I know the WS6 were rare, but I imagine the firehawk must be rare as well.

Thats stunning. Would prefer a wider front wheel and tire but if going straight is your jam then more power to you!

Wow. That may be one of my favorite cars on this forum. Keep the blue calipers. I like how they match the "I" in Firehawk like others pointed out.

I have already ordered chrome Firehawk emblems with blue "i" myself as well. Blue calipers go good with it. Good looking car. I just posted my NBM Hawk with rts wheels in here as well.

Thanks for the nice comments. I went with the narrower to have less rolling resistance and weight. I also have 15x10 weld rts for the drag radials. Only mods on the rear are lots of BFH, cut away bump stops and roll fenders to make the 12" fit. I use this car for weekend driving, 1/8 and 1/4 racing. I drove this car 600 miles last weekend and competed in one off the largest 1/8 street race competition and took the 2 place win.



More pics are coming, but here are few.

I guess it's a safe bet that you don't "pass yourself" AT ALL on the roads up there, correct??
(There probably aren't too many 'run of the mill' 4th gen f bodies up there, let alone one done up like yours!! But then again, Sweden actually has a road race series for our cars, so maybe I'm wrong?)

Looks awesome, so stock with rearend? Do you have the part numbers for the rear wheels by chance or know the offset?
