Chevelle updates

[PxTx]

No self respecting hot rodder has just 1 set of wheels and tires. No worries Eric. Look forward to seeing the new buns. Heck, the Nova with the 325 series rubber would be cool to see too!

I'll see what I can do.

It sounds like the its hard to say if the car will be more or less scary after the change. I think a before and after video is in order :-).

It will be more scary with traction...I can tell you that with 100% certainty. Eric, if I drive down to Ohio, will you give me a ride in this thing?

[VintageMusclecar]

I have little doubt it'll be even more scary with a hook...but at least I'll be confident that the car's gonn'a go where I've got it pointed and not try to swap ends at 60+ MPH.

I just hope it doesn't start breaking sh*t now.

I've got to be careful about turning loose too many Banzai passes around here. This is a small, (relatively) quiet town and there aren't many places to let the car stretch her legs without scowling eyes peering on...if you get my drift. However, if you can make it down here Tony, I'll be more than happy to take you for a ride.

Just don't forget that 12 bolt...I might need it afterwards.

You go Eric...and I agree...we need some video [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Good plan. I just ordered drag radials for my '65 chevy II for the same reason. Running 215/70 thin-stripe whitewall all season radials now on 14x6 chrome OE-style wheels. With the muncie, I can nail it in first at 20 mph, slam second, and the tires are still screaming and the rear end dancing around until the top of second gear. Not ideal for &quot;spirited&quot; street driving.

[VintageMusclecar]

Exactly.

I don't want to end up like this (putting aside the fact that this guy should've LIFTED as soon as the car got loose, but bad drivers is another topic for another discussion)

I have those on my Nova. From a 235/60/15 tire.................I am impressed!

I think they could hook in a car wash
