why sure there is ! way back in the day, "fearles frankie", a local "muscle car ricer" had a 65 or so mustang with a real fast [ whistling] v8 3speed ! only problem was, he couldn't blaze the tires like the rest of his tribe on the street, and he didn't have money for air shocks. but he got a brilliant idea ! he jacked up his beast until the rear was off the ground and the springs had a real good arch to then. next, he cut up two 6x6 wood blocks just a tad longer than the distance between the axle tubes and the floor pan, wedging them between said distances with a sledge because they were longer than necessary and he didn't want them to fall out ! a little flat black rattle can poofery, and wow ! looked just like "hi-jackers" with 175lb. air in them ! went out cruising friday night, and when he showed off his new stance, well, by golly, we was sure 'nuff impressed and congratulated him for what a kewl badass hotrod he now had ! he said it really "improved" his horspower, because he could now blaze the tires almost forever ! after a little goading, [well not really] he was gonna show us. out on the street, one, two, three, and he is off...... tires just a boiling smoke [7.75x14" size on chrome-ina-can wheels]. boy was us guys impressed ! "fast frankie" blasted past under the interstate bridge where the locals made their "quota" for the city. "fast frankie" got an invitation to the "policeman's ball" with a slight twist added. seems the officers ordered him to let the air out of his shocks, but then found out about his lift kit. frankie had to have his car towed. those of us there that night still chuckle when this incident is brought up !
