isnt that the truth. if i would try half of the stuff some guys try on their cars i would fail miserably. yet they can get away with everything be half a$$ed on their cars. if i would do the same... it probably wouldnt work by the time i was done loading the car on the trailer lol

ive seen guys try to weld them and have the whole spider gear set warp to the point of you cant get the axle in or out

the rear thats currently in my car has the spider gears welded. its set up with 3.42 gears. i want another rear end to set up for 3.73 gears. that one will get a spool. i dont like welded spiders. when i put the 3.42s in this rear a few of the welds were actually cracked. so ground a big groove...

is there a company out there that makes the 4 link brackets to weld to a rear end housing? the reason im asking is id like to get another rear end for the stock car and we have to run a stock rear end. mine being a monte carlo im stuck with a 7.5. i can get a rear end from a blazer fairly cheap...

well the end of a dirt track racing season means time for improvements one one of the first on my list is going to be replacing the drivers side floor from front firewall to rear firewall with 16 gauge sheet metal. the stock floor is rotted and patches were rivetted over the holes from the...

nos reproductions. you can make them work if you want to by drilling your own holes and using a self tapping sheet metal screw. because the bag of screws they give you are cheap as they come. and for 90 bucks for two they should fit exactly.

it looks sick on a gp

the cragars look a lot more refined than the wheel vintiques that a posted a link to on my last post

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/WVI-03-581204/ like the cragars...but cheaper. idk not as clean of a wheel though

the center strips that ran in the middle of the car? those are long gone already

what is that spoiler off of?

why must all the wheels id really like to put on the car cost $300+ a piece :cry:

i think im going to have to play around with different length trailing arms this winter. make up two or three sets to set the axle in and play with them to see where it gets me. they have to be stock. otherwise fabricating adjustable tubular ones would be simple enough

ya we call them metrics around here too lol. i race on a track thats a hair under half mile. now i have also considered making a set of modified trailing arms to set the rearend of the car up for rear steer. how much this would help in the corners i would like to see. how much it would hurt the...
