Send your existing rims to Tommy Kirk at MacFab, and have beadlocks installed. Best in the business, and fast turn around.

Their cheap single beadlocks start at about $525 a pair.

Called Veto, and we are putting a cage in it next month.....Purists are gonna have a fit...

A cage, if properly done, will do less damage to the car, than running it without one. It's not like the car hasn't been cut up already. IIRC, it doesn't have stock rear frame rails. Once those were out, all bets are off.

At a car show last month a guy actually asked me if I feel any guilt after cutting up such a nice car.

My guess is we will cut the roll bar out and start from scratch....I told him I wanted a moly one for weight savings.

I hope you told him it was cut up long before you owned it. Wasn't it an old Super Stock car?

Don't worry. I was once told I "wrecked" my Road Runner by tubbing it. Umm, I started with a rusty parts car, that should have gone to the scrap yard.

Car show people are all talk and no go

neil and parks do beautiful beadlocks and champion does them also if you want

Actually, I didn't even bother. I really don't care anymore. Who hasn't seen one all stock before? As I have said before, if somebody wants it before I go the next step, pony up the $$$$ and buy it...And nobody ever does, so I have finally decided to do it and make it a true dual purpose car that I can take to the next level. A lot of people at the races really liked it, and it gets a lot of attention, but I have not had any good offers in years. And yes it was a Super Stock car for many years before I got it.

Its fast enough now that it really needs the cage.




My current rear wheels are way too wide to put a set of 315 DR's on....Going to have to buy a new set..

how wide is too wide ?
i have heard of guys putting 10.5's on 14" wide wheels to meet class rules, then adding air which makes the car more stable at the big end.

Guys run 275s on 12" wheels.

They are 15" wide, and I am either putting a new set of QT pros on those or the best slick I can find....

I wouldn't hesitate a New York second to put a set of 10.5 x 29 x 15 inch drag radials on a set of true 15 inch wide rims, beadlocks or with a good set of rim screws

WHY? The car will be faster on a 315 pro and it is a big tire.

Congrats! That must feel good after all the trials and tribulations. Nice videos. Thanks for the post

It feels good to get the project to where its performing right.....So much work, and so little track time...Its really a relief. I have some winter plans, so I will see how those go...But enjoy the pics from that weekend,,,,
