Well the time has come to add wheelie bars to the car as a few weeks back this thing with the new aluminum 572 stood up pretty good when I least expected it, it was pulling the wheels up prior that day a foot and a half and carrying it out about 30 feet till this pass around 4:30 in the afternoon at pretty much the hottest point in the day and typically a greasy track by then with all the cars going down it all day. The car was much higher just before this picture was taken as I am going by the 60' timer here. I guess my main concern is length as I do not want them 12" beyond the body just even with the wing so the car still fits in the trailer with the golf cart turned sideways, LOL Any E-body guys running bars this length and is it working or too short? Thoughts from experienced appreciated?
TIA, Keith

one more, I think they will probably be about the same length as the green cuda above.
The problem with those bars are with the X bracing on the lower bars will not allow you to put a floor jack under the rearend without removing the bars.Everybody I know has the bracing between the top bars.

Not BS..Perhaps you need to head to the track and take a look at the faster cars out there. Not the guys who have bars on them for looks or purely safety..
Maybe you need to look at the places that actually build racecars. Perhaps you will be enlightened
Well stated

I have a set 60" bars leaning against the wall in my garage & the brackets to weld onto my axle also. I need to get them all mounted up one of the days.
