    New Wheels see daylight

    I bought these wheels and tires to go on a frame I am building with c-4 suspension to go under my car after completion. The other day I decided to see how they would look on the car. The back ones are 335/30/18's on an 18x12 rim with 6" backspacing and the fronts are 275/35/18's on an 18x10 rim...

    Run Flat Tire Machine? WTF?

    My buddy Chris at the tire store just called me and said my new wheels are in (Boyd Coddington) but when he tried to mount them up he cant get the tire to on the rim right so he called Boyds and they told him he needs a run flat tire machine to mount them. He has been the tire business for years...

    Custom logo on Mr Mike seat covers?

    Motor mounts small block vs big block?

    Got a question about motor mounts. My car came with a small block from the factory and years ago I put a big block in it. I used the same motor mounts and just bolted the big block in with no problems. I have seen posts about motor mounts and some people talk like there are different mounts for...

    Not sure where to put this so here goes...

    I have a classic vette (72), but this post is about dashes and electrical stuff so if it needs moved, do it. I been looking at how to fit all my gauges, audio, switches, ect in my dash somewhere. I rebuilt the center section of my dash to accept 9 gauges and lost the room for a radio and even...

    c4 suspension bushings?

    I am starting on my c4 suspension conversion for my 72 this winter, what does everybody like as far as bushings in the suspension? Rubber would be quieter I guess and I have heard poly bushings can squeak? Probably my biggest use for the car is street use/road trips. I am thinking some kind of...

    Backspacing for a C-4 suspension?

    I am moving ahead on my C-4 suspension conversion on my 72 frame. I need to get the wheels before I can really start doing anything. I am looking at some Coddington wheels, the F-22's. I need 18 by 12 for the rear and 18 by 10 for the front. The first question is what backspacing? What is the...

    More aero stuff

    I been reading some of these aero posts and thought I would show you guys how my front end is set up and see what you think. With this big block twin turbo setup I was looking for good cooling and I didnt feel like the sloped back radiator setup looked that good for max cooling. Even with the...

    Suspension decisions?

    I guess first off I will say hi. Mike here from southeast Idaho. Been a lurker on here for a while, reading and learning. Ok about my car, 72 coupe, started out life as a small block and a 4 speed. Current config is 468 big block twin turbo with a 4l80e trans. HP is around 800. I need to upgrade...
