I managed to get this old 55 bought on Saturday. I've got a 427 on my engine stand that I'll put in it and some 10" and 3 1/2 " slots and leave the rest like it is.
Yep.....not all “g***er” had 10 spokes and a straight axle...Jeg Putting it down at The Dirty D..Detroit Dragway
Did ANY g***ers have 10 spokes in-period? I thought they had to have front brakes. The only period picture that ever seems to turn up with cast spokes is a really modified '57 that I think was cl***ified as an altered, and I think those are 12 spoke spindle mounts.
I've never seen a picture of a g***er with spokes from back in the day. Like you said, the rules called for 4 wheel brakes so spindle mounts were out.
No spokes, front brakes yes. The altered cl*** ran spindle mounts and no front brakes. They had parachutes.
