    Excellent job.. I'm doing a frame off restoration on my 85 GN T-Top. You gave a few new ideas with the rack & pinion. Also with some of the frame mods!

      Thanks!! Yeah I know. That’s how the chassis builder did it 🤷‍♂️. I’ve seen several frames the same way so I’m guessing there’s something to it.

    You just brought up something I never even thought about. Im building a turbo ls 85 regal. Is a flex fuel set up but it's gonna primarily run on 85. If you build anything with a 10-15 gallon tank on alcohol you better stay close to the gas station lol. I never thought about the 40% difference in fuel volume. Looks like 20 gal cell it is.

    • @ajracing6631

      Yea most definitely at least 17 gallon minimum and the tune has to be good too.

      Thank you!! Street setup are 22x12 rear 20x5.5 front. I’m looking into 15x12 for the rear for the track.

    Might wanna check out Double A Performance or Innovative Racecraft if your wanting to cut some stuff off the front frame for more room and weight saving including a Rack….. Youll like their products!!

    • @ajracing6631
      @ajracing6631  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes I checked out innovative and pts fab front kit but I didn’t want to chop the front frame off. So my chassis guy ended up cutting the crossmember. I want to put my original front end on without issues. I am going to put a tubular core support though. Thanks Mario

    What size wheels are you running in the rear

    • @ajracing6631
      @ajracing6631  ปีที่แล้ว

      Those are 22x12 weld lagauna wheels for street driving. The fronts are 20x5 I will post a video this week on an update. For the track I’ll be using a 15x12 on drag radial or 28. Not sure on that yet. My local track doesn’t do a good job prepping. Thanks

    Frames definitely a huge weak point in the whole car even with stock engine.

    • @ajracing6631
      @ajracing6631  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yup that’s why I went to an actual chassis shop. I wanted the frame done right. I told my chassis builder to make it stout for power. I did question him on the rear but he assured me it’s going to be good.
