IM looking to have a 65 mini tubed so a 15x10 wheel will fit in there. Does anyone know of a chassis or fab shop that will do it in california, or the reno, Nevada area? Pretty much have come to the conclusion that i want the wide tire (since its ganna be drag raced) and i love the look. So let me know! thanks

I'm in S.D. How soon do you want to do it ? And are you set on tubs ? There a tricks. Don't HAVE to tub, but could get a 275 in there without rubbing, without a full tub. Probably a 9 or 9.5 rim. But can go either way. LOVE the sig !!

Well, heres the deal. Ive got a 95 gt that i was planing on building up. So i already have a very stout rear end buit. Ill just need to shorten the housing and get shorter axles , and weld new perches on for the 8.8 swap. And i already have wheels that im seriously in love with. The Billet specialties street lites. 15x10 6.5 BS. The car will be driven maybe 2-3 times a week (if its not raining) and raced 10-12 times a year. So i figured if i did the mini tub, and a leaf spring relocation with caltrac's, id probably be in good shape as far as the rear was concerned. Motor is going to be a 347 W/ Novi 2000, custome intercooler pushing 15-20lbs. Just depends on what it takes to get the car where i want. I have a lot more of the build worked out, so i can tell ya if i need to, but basically the plan is to run 9.90's /10.0's.

Ok. Gimme a shout when you get a sec. We can do that here, including the intercooler and tubing. Boosted classics is kinda our thing here. -Dustin 619-449-1706
