Asking about my Aspen? I've always wanted to build a short track stock car inspired street machine. It's going to be a street fighter style pro-touring car that will replace the Mustang as my autocross/track day/weekend cruiser. My original intent was to just cut the front clip off of the car and install a Howe road race front clip but I stumbled upon the chassis as a complete roller minus calipers for the same money as the clip. It's a Laughlin 105" truck arm / big spring short track chassis that was run as a BGN North car. It has a fresh Richmond quick change under it, 12:1 steering box and a bunch of small items that I can re-purpose. I've already cut all the cage off of it and I'm getting ready to cut the rocker rails off to create front and rear sub frames. Then everything under the Aspen from the taillight panel to the firewall plus the front rails and inner fenders will be cut out, new rocker rails will be fab'd and welded to the Aspen's inner rockers and the "new" sub frames will go under it.

The fender lips were folded up inside (i.e. fender 'rolled'), but that's it for the lips. I do have some other issues, though. I've got 7.2" backspacing front and rear on 18x9.5" tires. With all that backspacing, the tire hits the frame rail about the same time it rubs the fender (1-1.5 turn from center). I try to keep it to 1x turn from center and under when driving- so the turning radius is similar to my truck. I haven't tried an autocross in the car yet, but I've got more than enough for street driving and road course work. No rubbing anywhere with either. I did have to trim the front and rear corners of the front wheelwell, and I used the adjustable strut rods to locate the tires as well. I was slightly rubbing just off center when turning prior to this fix (back corner of front wheelwell). I was also rubbing the inner fenders on compression- so I cut out a piece and added contoured trailer fender (!) pieces to gain 1.5" clearance in the compression direction. Ive got ~3" of compression now before bottoming out the LCA (3/16" bump stops in there). Last thing I want is the tire contacting anything at 145+ mph. -'02 Dodge Viper Ex-World Challenge racecar -'73 Duster, 6.1 based 392 hilborn hemi, tko600, full floater rear 9", Hellwig custom bars, viper brakes, built for road course
