Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!

One of my favorites



but right now it sorta looks like this......


and


Just waiting on parts and the time to get this metamorphosis under way. Have been procrastinating on what to do about trans,,, If I change to a glide it adds a LOT of expense. I don't know if the Hughes TH350 is going to like what I'm doing,, and I have a pro-tree Hughes TH400 w/ shields all ready,, but will have to change driveshafts, and to use air will have to change shifters,,, bla bla,, every little detail justs keeps adding more and more $'s. Goal is to have it all ready before it get's hot so I don't have to wear a stinking firesuit to race this summer!!!

Marv is that the Holley pro Dominator? I Just picked one up for my 406. They must work well if you are running one.

Marv D,

Do you have any more pictures of your Engine Bay?
I wanna see your Inner Fender Wells...
I have to do some Fabbing when I take the Engine out.
Did you buy or make yours?

Thanks,

Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pro Tires:
In the ’90s, you either ran an illegal set of slicks on your Pro Street ride or a fat set of Mickeys.

Mickey Thompson held more than 480 international racing records and was a pioneering driver, engineer, and racing promoter. In 1963, engineer Gene McManus left Goodyear and started Max Trac Tire Inc., using Mickey’s name as the DBA and paying him royalties for a new line of Mickey Thompson racing tires. The company revolutionized the tire business with innovative, low-profile rubber and created the tire that changed the street car world, the DOT-legal Sportsman Pro. This tire was epic because it was the widest street tire you could buy in 1991, and you could let the air out for that wrinkle-wall effect—something every drag race–worshipping fairground cruiser could appreciate. Pro Street lovers no longer had to settle for running sketchy, 33-inch slicks on the street, and Sportsman Pro tires had a drag compound that hooked on the strip. It was the best of both worlds.
