CCWs were borrowed from j0n. The Welds are actually much lighter than those.

I have quite a bit of air in the tires and I won't be driving these on the street. Big tires help with the rough roads in NJ too ;)

Quick ? while I drool over your sweet ride. How is that roll bar, can someone still sit in the backseat? or is it a nice storage place now.

Looks awesome Brian. :) When's that thing going back to the track? I'm getting the same rim style on the vette once the drag spindles go on.

Lol thanks. Small children could sit in the back but I wouldn't recommend doing that based on where the bars run.

Thanks Rob. I plan on going to the track towards the end of the season.

I think he means the white lettering but I may be misreading.

You do NOT want to use the backseat with a rollbar that has a crossbar installed.

Thanks I Was debating about putting in a basic 4 point if I keep the car end up making my own if I do. Was hoping for a pre-bent kit that worked save me time and cutting.

When i see that Big "Hoosier" on the tire all I do is smile and think wheels up.
