I have a pair on Mt slicks 28 x 15 x 10.5 with 3/4 rubber left you can have. I may have a set of older welds for you too. I updated both rims and rubber this year. Call me with dimensions and I will take them to the track some time for you.

I'll give you a call tonight.

I didn't know that St Thomas was still open!! I love that track, haven't been there in years. Haven't had anything to run

I just have an 8.8 rear in it so, the bolt pattern is 4 on 4 1/4". The back space needs to be around 4 1/2" to 4 3/4" max. The diff is out of a Mustang so its about 2" narrower than the Thunderbird diff. This sets the wheels into the wheel well a bit.

Talk to you later.

Bill

Sorry Larry, we got stuck at a job longer than expected. Figured you would prolly be heading for bed soon. I'll try giving you a call tomorrow night if that's OK.

Thanks,
Bill

Bill,

here's some pics of the SFCs in my Futura. Should give you a good idea of how they will look.










In this pic you'll see the outline of the 2x3 that was welded and pushed into the rear frame structure. We also welded all of the torque boxes up as well as the upper mounts...

Nice job John!! That looks reall solid there.

Thanks for the pics, they help a bunch!!

Bill
