    Has anyone seen the car (i think its a coupe) that has dually wheels on the rear? Richard D told me he thought oddball customs did it. I did a few searches on here and on google and didnt find anything.

    if they arent true dually wheels, they are large diameter, steel, mag or slot style.

    any help would be appreciated guys.

    The one from this site was at the Jalopy Showdown. I'm sure there are pictures of it in the showdown coverage on here somewhere.

    stupid me...i typed in Custom. who in the world would ever think of typing it phonetically.:D

    none of the pictures i've seen so far are correct. this car does not have dual's out back, it just used a dually rim. either they have a drag slick on the wide rim or they've cut it down for a normal tire.

    just bring it BTTT so maybe somebody else will read it.

    The one leadsled is talking about is the RustT from Oddball, it was a dually, not a super single. I got a good look at that thing doing a burnout....

    If you HAVE to see more of it, it was at the Viva-las Vegas show.

    Yes.

    The dual rear tire thing comes from hillclimb cars of the 30s. Search for Alfa P3s and the like.
