I am getting closer a little at a time. I just got a new job that will help through the cash department. I just hope I survive 16 weeks of school. I'm looking for a new set of rear wheels. I need at least a set of 12 or 14 inch wide wheels. I'm considering a new rear end to lose a little more weight and to get my offset where I want it.

It actually hasn't picked the front tires up like that since it got the mustang II front end. As long as it runs really fast I don't care.

I found something for the drag truck I had to have. I'm going to get new wheels and didn't want to buy them for the width rear that is in the truck so I bought this even though I still need to shorten it some.

The wheels on the truck are only 10 inches wide but the 14 inch wide wheels will put allot more rubber on the ground. Anybody can go fast on a monster tire I want to not go any bigger than a 10.5w.
