What do you mean "wait" for the rain? Its pouring here lol. By the time I get the new motor combo installed it will be dry here in Oregon =]

I threw it on the QuickCar scales today, was pleasantly surprised at the weight. 3676 lbs. with no driver, 3862 with my friend sitting in the drivers seat.

LuckyHenriksen · 01-01-2009, 07:08 PM

I got a cool free shirt with my fuel pump!! Too bad its XL

Test Fit! Why cant the tire store be open on New Years day??? lol

SCIV · 01-01-2009, 07:46 PM

Those wheels look killer!

You can send that t-shirt my way, XL is a perfect fit!

LuckyHenriksen · 01-01-2009, 09:35 PM

Auburn Mini-Spool! Now I have to figure out how to install it

rckclmbr99 · 01-01-2009, 09:47 PM

Take it easy,
Jonathan

I got here before the wheel pictures did

I will be right here waiting impatiently for the new pictures.

LuckyHenriksen · 01-02-2009, 01:58 PM

They are uploading right now! Man I can't wait to get the new motor built, I want to see these things spin!

lts70 · 01-02-2009, 02:07 PM

What motor are you pluging in? After looking at your picture from the other post I think I like the center caps that came with our rims more than I though I would. If I find some cheap used american racing caps I will change them over but not for $120. STill waiting.......

LuckyHenriksen · 01-02-2009, 02:19 PM

Ya I couldn't justify spending that much just for caps. These ones look good IMO. I am planning a built 6.0 Gen III with L92 heads and a carb. My goal is 550 HP to the crank.

Oh and my old set of ralleys and tires weighed in at 197 lbs. total, the new set of wheels and tires weighs in at 169 lbs. so I get to save weight at the same time

lts70 · 01-02-2009, 02:24 PM

I plan on doing the 6.0l myself but with fuel injection and not quite as much HP. I will be following your build on that one. Cut 30lbs. of fat, not bad!

LuckyHenriksen · 01-02-2009, 02:26 PM

Ya i was exited, any bit of weight you can cut from these beasts is helpful. pics are almost done loading to photobucket

68 C-10 KID · 01-02-2009, 10:02 PM

Lucky,
Just a little memo they work great in the rain. and also keep the weight of the rear when your not driving it or it will be a rough ride for a few miles.
Looks like we well be hitting that track hard and soon.

LuckyHenriksen · 01-02-2009, 02:34 PM

FINALLY!!!

lts70 · 01-02-2009, 02:40 PM

It was worth the wait!!

LuckyHenriksen · 01-02-2009, 02:46 PM

Thanks man. I think they look good, quite the difference between the front and back lol

MrBeast · 01-02-2009, 03:39 PM

Awesome, now get outside and smoke those puppies! THATS AN ORDER! :P

LuckyHenriksen · 01-02-2009, 04:00 PM

I will but its snowy! I want to keep these wheels CLEAN unlike my old ralleys...... BTW they are for sale if anyone is interested. Portland Craigslist. I don't even know if my motor will spin these! And I want to get the spool installed before I do any roasting....

LuckyHenriksen · 01-02-2009, 04:14 PM

I want to bring the rear down some more, but I don't know if it will clear the tires......... I am going out to measure right now. Do you guys think I can install my 2 inch blocks?

chevy_mike · 01-02-2009, 04:19 PM

NICE!!! Wheels look great and killer size on the rear.

Keep up the good work!

VA72C10 · 01-02-2009, 04:53 PM

Looks great! I don't know about the 2" blocks....looks like they would rub....but would be worth a shot....just keep in mind it will raise up the front a little when you lower the rear.

heavy71chevy · 01-02-2009, 05:00 PM

itll looks real good lucky,gonnna look real tuff alil more low in the back

thirdstreettito · 01-02-2009, 07:27 PM

Nice! I think the fronts need a bit more sidewall though.
