Nice progress Glenn  surely it would be easier to use a pair of better back spacing centerlines? If you go to narrow it may look a bit pro street  Will have to pop round to have a closer look! Note to self, need to upgrade, people are getting faster!! Lee |

Lee Hi Lee , I'm only going to narrow them to the same width you would find on a short axel bug , this be enough to suite the back spacing of these wheels and open the possibility's of other wheels in the future  Had some nice Porn in the post today   This should satisfy my rubber fetish |

Not happy today , after having a good look at my engine bits back from the machine shop it looks like they balanced them individually and the wooddruff keys still in the wrapper Oh well back it go's . So Ive been mocking up the front end goodies to see what needs to be done  Mob phone camara quality I think I may need to break out the narrowing tool up front too 3" total cut should do it , coz i don't like the "lost in space " narrowed look just enough to get these sat in right Gonna try and do this in the morning , will post the after look pix later  |

Not much to report , had a quick clear out of the garage as the cab's off to a new home this week So needed to jugle the car's around , could'nt resist a quick pic on my phone coz I just love my new wheels  Hope to get the 60's swaped with some cool 70's soon . I need to paint the rear drum's think I'm going to detail in some nice bright red heat proof paint |

I don't think that ducktape will hold,especialy when your wheels go up in the air when racing. Nice work Glenn Michael |

Yup , I wouldn't have minded to much but I only really noticed when I tried to thread the spring's through to double check my cut points after i'd welded it all up Think i was so wrapped up with making sure it was straight ,true and parallel I kinda missed the glaring balls up I made |

I've not had too much fun today , did a job I was not forward to .... Cutting out my old re-pro seat rails and welding in a set of pre 55 runners to get the correct angle for my seats . All done now but not a job for the faint hearted , fire extinguishers and wet towels on constant vigil . Grafted in some extra support beneath the drivers seat ,as I don't wish to have a repeat of my last time out at Shakey , me falling back strapped into the seat onto the battery box must have looked funny , but was deffo no fun |
