    I would be interested in knowing that too. I want to put wires (Dayton) on my champ car that has the 5 x 5.5 bolt circle. Whose wheels are you using? Sharp.

    I've got a '42 Ford straight 6, in a roller chassis I recently bought. I had been thinking about selling, but kind want to build it up now.

  22. Here is my 225 slant six powered roadster. I drive it on the street, run it on the dirt track and race it at the drag strip. Stock motor with a 2 barrel intake and Stromberg WW3 carb. Hoping to mill the head this winter to bump compression. Will also be making a rollbar for racing. IMG_20240414_144839135.jpg IMG_20240413_131825728.jpg
