Finally got rid of the heavy *** wheels in favor of a full set of draglites Got rid of the 4x4 look while I was at it. I weighed before and after and I dropped 82 pounds

 

Very nice!

 

these pics remind me how sweet those fender vents on the firebirds are. wheels look really shiny, so do the tires. what kind of wet tire shine are you using?

 

very nice, i'm diggin' it for sure!

any reason your not running the center caps in the back(actually, i don't know why most people dont...i ran without them for a little while, but put them back on)? i think it looks incomplete without them...that's the only thing i would change.

absolutely love the flat hood and no spoiler look.

 

car looks badass...thats the first time ive seen you post pics of it. Ill have to see it at some point this summer...

 

I'm curious what size tires are you running? It looks very good, I have Cragar Superlite II but am having a hard time with the back tire size, either to short or to tall, yours look great.

 

Alot of people run no center caps on the back for tech at the track, if you run a certain et your required to run aftermarket axles, usually with out the rear center caps you see the strage or currie sticking through.

i knew that...just slipped my mind

 

they look real nice. get some more pics

 

Looks awesome. Looks badass without centers in the back. Has a nice rake to it. Thumbs up. Glad to see them on something again.

 

Thanks for all the comments. I remember a year or so ago I was looking for pics of TA's with draglites but couldn't find any.


I use the Meguiars Hot Shine on the tires

They are 275/60/15's. They're the tires that came on the wheels I just haven't had a chance to get out and get my MT ET Radials switched over yet.

I don't have center caps on because I bought them used and they only came with a pair.

Steve: Make sure you come to the cookout at the end of July, I'll have the car with me then since it's going to be close to my place.

 

yeah ive been lookin for some too. thinkin about runnin those or pro stars and haent been able to decide

 

welcome to the weld club

 

Those welds give it an agressive drag car appearance. Looks sweet

 

very nice i think i am going to get me a set of those for my camaro to put my drag tires on

 

I'm running 28" tall Mickey Thompsons. Those aren't on the car yet. I haven't switched them over to the new wheels but the ones on the car now are 28".. I run the 28's because that's what the engines power band, gear ratio and car weight demand. I don't care as much about how it looks since it's a bracket car.

Thanks, cameras hide alot Lots of paint chips, misaligned body panels and such. It's a 20 footer but it runs it's BALLZ off

 

lookin good man. remember, if you ever need help with the body alignment or anything and you happen to find a place, ill be glad to come help you out. i really like the way it looks without the spoiler. i wish i could get mine to sit like that. the rake on mine sucks bad.

 

I need someone to give me a hand with the body work, I think I'm going to shoot it again this summer.

 

is it just the image angles, or does the rear tire (rear end) look pushed forward?? It doesn't appear to be centered in the wheel well..

looks good though, I've always liked those rims

 

You're right. They're not centered. Has to do with the LCA relocation brackets, adjustable torque arm and cut coil springs. I've got a set of adjustable LCA's to fix the problem but the car hooks so I'm afraid to mess with it. Have a set of drag shocks and panhard rod too but I'm scared to put them on as well.

 

it's only gonna help make things more consistant bro, don't be afraid of good things to come by replacing stock parts with superior aftermarket pieces, especially when you apply more power with the new exhaust your planning and the better gear.

 

It's consistent enough now, lol. I know whay you're saying though. Last five runs were 1.660, 1.661, 1.660, 1.659, 1.659. If it aint broke, don't fix it. We'll see what it does with the new gears this weekend.
