Actually, my wife just got mine off a trailer on Saturday when she picked it up from the mechanic. (she lives two states away from where I had put it in the shop before coming over here) So, I dont want to see it on a trailer anytime soon. He has had it since October to replace the engine with the one listed in my signature.

There are still a few problems to iron out, but at least she has it now. So, now its on to the next phase of her development. (the car, not my wife)

No, it's not a TOTAL trailer queen... or should I say trailer trash because its not the prettiest thing ever.

Last week the fuel pump in dad's truck went out so for 3 days, in the rain, with no insurance, with no exhaust except for headers, with a muffler on each, and the slicks pictured I drove it back and fourth to work.....gotta lotta sideways glances though ;-)

Talk to me dude.........I want to run a weld (not an xp weld)

You running 5.5 backspacing on them??? Tubes???? Got pics of the clearancing needed on the fender well??? Did you grind the rear calipers??? Hook me up with a rear wheel tire package with a 26" tire. I'm not concerned with front skinnies, only want rear tires.

I have pics of clearancing my fender well here....

http://www.cardomain.com/id/z28boysteve

I ordered Cragar Street Stars (steel rims) for $100 ea.

They required ALOT of clearancing on the calipers.........DONT BUY THESE RIMS unless you want to do alot of work!

you will have no clearance issues with any tire 28" or under

I have 29.5"

Hrmm..... that doesnt look to hard to do. I want to stick with a shorter tire first to keep all my gear. Depending on where my revs are may make me go a bit larger, so I guess I will get a freebie first then grind more as the need arises.

Looks like you got a pretty good place to work!! I like the trailer too, been eyeballing a couple of them myself. I would feel better about the slicks and nitrous launches if I knew I could get my car home :lol: .
