That was my first thoughts when I saw the photo. Looks like Afco shocks in that image.

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.

You PA boys sure seem to be well connected with some of these fast guy crowds. Not only that, you guys are darn fast and impressive yourself with what you guys are doing with the small blocks.

I guess Lyle is broke down at the moment. He needs a wheel for a 15" spindle. That shouldn't be hard to find. They announced over the live intercom. fury
