gonna have the power to spin those bad boys under the hood?
I was actually wondering the same thing. haha So i did a little burnout just to be sure. It should be good for some big smokey burnouts. I need to get an alignment first though to try to keep the tire wear even from side to side.
Thanks it is coming together. hopefully I get the rear quarters fitted this week sometime. there is a car show next saturday I would like to make it to.
I got the new front tires put on today and parked the car on the street so I could get a picture of everything all together. It is starting to look like what I was seeing in my mind.
I did a thing today. Rear wheels are welded and tires are on and they are on the car and they roll. haha Now body work and body work and probably some more body work to make them fit under the car. Rear wheels are 13" wide on the inside where the tire seats. the offset is either -63 or -76 the backspaceing is 4.5" if anyone knows how to calculate that let me know exactly what I'm working with.
I love when you open up a build thread for a cheap car and you think "this probably won't go anywhere" then you see that the owner shaves with axle grease and snorts formaldehyde and pulls batshit crazy junk like this
After the fender got messed up I decided to just make some flares and weld on while i was filling in the body molding. Still a lot of work to do to get them smoothed out and ready for filler but the tires don't hit them now. I started trying to figure out what I'm doing with the rears and It is going to be ridiculous back there. I ordered some new tires for all around. 235/45 for the front and 315/35 for the rear. I still need to finish the rear wheels and get tires mounted before I can actually start on the rear body work. Pics because everyone loves pics. haha
Well apparently I didn't get the passenger side fender rolled enough because the tire decided to eat it. haha but that gives me motivation to start moving metal around and hitting stuff with a big hammer. I got the passenger side sort of straightened out and moved some stuff around and pulled the bottom of the fender out I still need to make a bracket to hold the bottom of the bumper out, I had a hammer pushing it out for the pic but that is farther than i want it. It will eventually get where I want it.
I pulled the front fenders enough to not rub the tires and drove it to a local cruise in that is less then 1/2 mile from my house. There is still some slight tire rubbing on hard bumps but for tires that haven't been balanced they didn't shake or vibrate but I didn't get above 40.
