You need some nice inner fenders.

This is the new tire...smaller but lots of grip

Well you already said you were replacing the d44 and going solid axle and these are significantly narrower tires, doing something different with the wheels too then?

Have a thread on yours.
No thread on mine-But will start one when close to being finished. I am using the M/T DR 315x17 which measure approx 26"x12.5 How tall are you tires? They look tall.

They are 28, which is 2 inches taller. I only plan on raising it an inch all around. I think I can tuck some up in the flare...at least I hope I can. I've done crazier stuff that worked out.

I don't follow all the newer races that have been popping up enough to know the rules differentiation but look forward to seeing what you build!

Wait he got that much traction on 275's?

Either way, I'm excited to see what you come up with. Glad to see someone racing something other than Mustangs.

Sorry to see you give up on this project...

I realize it is almost like a marriage though...you can spend a lot of time on it, and when you have family that is a real dilemma.

Hope it goes to a good home and they finish it. You can at least live vicariously through their work...since you've got >90% of it done already.
