It won't be as soon as I would like but I think it will be extremely sweet when its done. It may even get painted before it comes back out.

djracer 06-01-2010 08:09 PM

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 
15x10 in the rear and 15 x 3.5 or 4 up front but I think they are either 5 on 4.5 or 5 on 4.75 in the front.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck

djracer 06-01-2010 08:25 PM

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 
I'd leave the rears but they are a couple years old.

The old wheels are 15x10 with 5 inches of back spacing. I don't know the width of the the old rear but its about 2 to 3 inches narrower than stock. I am gonna be running a 16x33x10.5w tire with a 14 to 16 inch wide wheel.

I have been working on it since I blew the old motor up. It has been a slow process but I hope the wait will be worth it. I had a real low paying job for a couple years and that didn't help at all. I am redoing a ton of stuff and trying to get it painted also. It should be lighter, faster and better looking when all is done.:metal:

Sorry if I missed it, but what is that front suspension setup? How much was it? It looks pretty light.

Its a bolt on Fatman mustang II setup. They vary in price with options.
