All the years of hard work paid off. John Fraziers new N/SS Dodge. Went to Detroit Autorama. Won a 1st and 2 other awards. It was moved out of the racecar class into street. They said it had way to much detail to be a racecar. They'le see it testing at Milan in April.

I meant to get a look at the rear wheels and forgot. The rest of the car was outstanding, so clean and well built!

Do you know if it's still using 1/2" studs/conical lugs in the rear with the Torq Thrusts?

I'm curious about the rear wheels also. I have a set of 15x12's for my '69. They use conical lug nuts. My plan was to have spacers made for that, but use 5/8" studs, as that is what is already in the car.

Nope, They got machined for 5/8"

Thanks, like Jeff I'm thinking about switching my TT's to 5/8" since I'm ordering a new axle anyway. Is it still 5 x 4.5? Assume drilled out for the 5/8" stud, conical area machined flat, spacer + low profile nut at that point?

I'd be curious if he has pictures of how that was done?

If you want Torque Thust I would start with the biggest bolt pattern you can. 4 1/2 requires the lug nuts and spacers to be machined to reduce the diameter. Simply not enough clearance at 4 1/2" .
Though it can be doen as seen here. My American 200S were done the same way. 4 3/4 would help. 5" would be the best route. Headers were built by Ernie Miyomoto at Motofab. He does nice work. If this thing weighs anywhere close to mine it should be a runner. Best Machine dyno slip says 965. We'll see.
