345 but could easily go bigger.

Awesome, on a 67 too...thanks Mike.

One of the things I really like about this approach, besides the beauty, is that you can run a wider tire on a wider track. Nothing scientific that I can quote on my part, but I just think it will run better on a track than a more narrow rear. Kinda like the width and stance of an Indy car. Any opinion on that?

Oh and...

13" wheels on a 345 PS2

Hold your horses Ron! The sooner I finish it, the sooner you get spanked on the auto-x. So your ego might appreciate some delays.

The car looks awesome! How big of tire up front?

Well Ron that sounds like quite the throw-down challenge.

Yeah it does. Considering it's from Killer 'Nando (sounds like a guy from the movie Conan or Blazing Saddles but we know better ), I'll take that challenge. Besides he's the only guy on this site that rivals me in 'late w pics' and project delays. Plus his front end is waaay too heavy w that huffer...

But for that to happen:

- Fernando would have to unload all his show hardware. Winning!
- Fernando would have decide he's actually ready to nick up Mike's beautiful paint job.
- Fernando would have to figure out a way to unload his car off the trailer without scraping his exhaust!


I'll see you both on a track this summer. And not just AutoX, Fernando...

(Just don't invite Todd or we're all toast)

If I remember correctly the front tires are 275 /35 / 18 .

Good stuff Ron. I really look forward to seeing both these cars soon! Maybe August for the next Socal event that's brewing?

Sounds right. I would hope they are at least that wide with a 345 rear.
