Finally got the used Weld Alumastars(set of 4) wed morning.They came with 14.5x32 firestones(old) with some life still in them.Rear wheels are15'x14"s with the 6.5"I THOUGHT I needed,but will have to trim a little off the botom front of the wheel opening but not a big deal.Fronts are15x3.5 s.Had to let the air out of the slicks to get em on and did'nt have to disconnect the shocks for more room  Still looking a Toilet though  ------------------

So.........Ya gonna have this hotrod done this summer? I need to find someone to race that I actually might have a chance of beating.   With the price of diesel the way it is, I may have to race at Cordova more this year. Better get my sand filters working.  ------------------

We might have it ready to make a few shakedown passes and make sure every thing is where should be before the paint goes on.
As far as a race with the falcon...I need just a bit more seat time like a half dozen weekends to start  And you got that right on the sand ...big time 
BTW Jason is here with his girls and says you better have a bottle LOL  ------------------

He don't need no steeenkin bottle. It's injected. All he has to do is change pills and add Nitromethane.

Yeah, that'll happen. At $900 a drum, I don't think so. The gas guy at Eddyville sells quarts of 50%. That in a 5 gallon jug of alky should make about 5%. They claim that's good for a couple of tenths. Low 10s are fast enough for an old geezer anyway!

You don't need a whole drum. Klotz sells it by the gallon jug. http://www.klotzlube.com/

Hey Popeye,I am taking off a set of Goodyear 14 x 32s that have some rubber left on the tread. If you want em, come get em. I took the wheels off today and will have the slicks changed sometime this week. ------------------
