It's a hard one on closing it off or keeping it open. I can't decide on my build either.


Who is doing your tin work? I may need some help with finishing my camaro.

Got that glass front mounted?

gomeez63 10-14-2016 05:24 PM

Re: '63 c10 drag build
 
No I have to cut the front end of my frame off to get it. It comes up like 1.5" short of the window cowl

That looks badass!

Super73 10-26-2016 06:44 PM

Re: '63 c10 drag build
 
Looking good! I see you got the lower part of the front fender mounted and looks like you lopped off a bit of the frame for the rest of the front end to fit. Cant wait to see it making passes!

Getting all the last pieces of the puzzle on taking it to a chassis guy to align and set up suspension but I refuse to push it onto a trailer that's for trucks that don't run so let's hope it survives the first parking lot burner

7.5? are you guys running discs with this much back spacing. if so what discs and wheels.

I am trying to find a cheap match for discs..

Digging up the old thread because we are building again
#1 nitrous is to expensive on the west coast and it's hot as a mofo in NorCal so babying bottles in a hassle
#2 Nitrous is hard on things
So I've gone to the Darkside.
I'm also going to a 750 cage.
And doing some simple things here and there to stop frame twist/bow
