I love the vintage wheels, what made you decide to run 295s on the rear?

Well Being it's Going to have an Large 13b Bridgeport in it with a Huge Holset HX50,
With some Mooser Axle's. LOL I'm hoping to make some where near 800hp. My last FB
put down 700hp on 32psi with C16, and 516hp on 21psi and a pump mix. So will see.

i think everyone is rooting for the wing, make a mold and make a couple of fiberglass wings. i am sure many of us are willing to pay for it. you can use that money to bring it to its former glory again.

Yep, wing is still available. I know someone on the club said theh had checked into it and the prices were raised but they were mistaken. Posted price ($560 I think it was) is correct. They are slow to respond to emails.

I am going to be watching this thread and going over the older widebody threads often. I finally arranged shipping on my widebody donor car.

problem with that wing is that on a non wide body car it would look out of place.
I always wanted one of those wings too but will never have a wide body so will have to stick to the IMSA 3pc rear spoiler.

Not trying to thread jack, but Chad, I have to say I disagree. Here are some pics of examples of why I do.

Donnie, all of these seem to taper back to the middle more than the wide body wings I have seen as they start on the flares and then taper out to be wider at the tip than on the fenders.
The first pic you posted would be a nice spoiler. I wanted to take my IMSA one and have it glasses out and a bit more aggressive.




Cant wait to see what this wide body ends up being in the end. Will be watching.........

How wide do you think you can go in the rear? I was thinking about going with the 295/50/15 also but was undecided.
