I can only get a 10 inch wheel on it now even with the frame notched to the max. Theres so much sidewall roll with the 10 inch wheel, I think thats causing some of the drivability issues.
BTW the guys at Tin Soldiers are awesome, super nice guys and willing to help anyway they can. Their parts are top notch also.
It’s got a 15x10 inch wheel on it with a 28x10.5 Mickey slick on it.
I want to run a 15x 14 wheel with the same tire. It will have less sidewall roll and a better contact patch with the wider rim.
LOL not that long. Nicky Bobby inc makes a front shock mount to get more travel. I also need to put in the new tube K member. Its gonna be a long winter.
Well I took the front and rear suspension out of the car. I guess the g body frame isnt made for a bunch of power lol. My frame is twisted like a pretzel where the lower torque boxed are welded in, floor board is bashed in from the torque boxes hitting. I will try to post some pictures. This may be some of the drivability issues i was having.
This has been a chore. Front end is done. Rear of the car is all cut out and 4 link brackets installed. All the parts are in for the new motor except the block,2 more weeks till its here. Im still cutting and bending tubing for the backhalf. Ill try to post some pictures.
I thought you already had a Merlot setup in the rear?
I’m in for the pics too including the damage only for own selfish reasons (I’m adding support in my rear area presently.)
