Another rear without the brace all the way to the flanges! [ Moparts Family Site - Keep it Friendly ]/ So is this rear going to bend?

Could be a older picture, but Menscar uses Afco bodies for their custom builds.

If it is mild steel, then yes, absolutely it's going to bend right out past the pads on the ends. If it's .250 wall Moly tubing out there it MIGHT not, but I wouldn't count on it. Since some seem to be so worried about what's under it. I will look tomorrow. I think they about 10 trailers down from us.

here is an 'updated' pic from 2015 "Lights Out In Georgia". Not sure what brand shocks are on it. Now where is the spare tire gonna go?

He would probably pick up a tenth or two with Superstock springs... A snubber and a purple shaft cam would pick up even more! lol you just couldn't resist Been watching the race, it's good to see Lyle and Jason doing well with the car.

It may be ugly, but it sure is slow.
