First time post...figure I'd show you guys in case anyone is interested

 

Very nice, keep us updated!

 

Car is being built in Tampa
It's a mini-tub/4 link utilizing the factory frame with an 8 3/4 Mopar rear
G-Force G5 transmission on the way
28x10 ET drag
Cartech 2c intake converted to F.I. w/ Haltech
All metal, all glass

 

nice set up, I was going to tell you to dump those carbs BUT i see you changed it over to efi....

 

nice set up...

 

The carbs work really well. I never got around to using the NOS on my setup, but that setup makes power. Nice project.

Good Luck.
Albert

 

looks somewhat like mine..............

what size tire are you going to run ?

 

Nice project.... This winter I'll be doing something similar to my 1st gen, but it'll be 9"
Good luck

 

nevermind, you said 28X10 tire

 

the rear end is in & tire's are on.

 

looks sweet... who is doing the work for you?

 

more pic's...

 

The work is being done by both me and Albert the owner of the car. Albert cut the floors out and did all the painting(he's a painter by trade). I did the rear end set-up, most of the fabricating,the wiring & tuning...

 

Can you do me a favor ? Can you measure how long the upper and lower control arms are ?

 

16"/16.5" upper & lower rod end to rod end w/o proper adjustments(little on the short side).

 

So, the upper is 16" and the lower is 16.5". Is that measurement from end to end or center hole to center hole ?

Thanks again.

 

center hole to center hole.

 

One more question, some guys are running the 28/10.5/15W tires with a minitub. Those have a sidewall width of 13.1 inches. Yours have a sidewall width of 11.7 but from your pictures, it looks like a real tight fit.

 

It is a tight fit because we chose not to cut the rear quarters in any way or notch the rails...

 

I didn't think the rails needed to be notched for a bigger tire. With the quarter panels, you're talking about the inner quarter panel, not the outer right ?


This guy claims to run 13 inch sidewall to sidewall tires without touching the frame. He's ran a 28x10.5W , 325-50-15 MT radial and a 28x13.5 quick time pro.

 

I'm sorry we cut the inner quarter only, we left the outer untouched. Tire width is sometimes determined by rim width. Tires like e.t. street and pro street are usually undersized when it comes to width.

 

Car is now for sale! It runs and has a G-Force G5 with no tin work.

 

Nice work... makes me want to cut up my GSL-SE...
