These virgin never turned low mile rear drums are ready to GO !



Went to my friend Dale's shop to cut the steel to box in the lower control arms....i will weld 'em up tomorrow



Peace WildBill

 

What's the reason for welding up control arms? They flex when there's too much power?

 

Yes, it's just a little bit of insurance..........:3gears:

Pictures tomorrow.

Peace WildBill

 

The reinforcements help on keep the arms from flexing during turns and those 'sideways' maneuvers.
Maybe Wild Bill is building a 'cat for drifting.....to show up those guys with the imports. :grin:

Drifting= A long smokey burnout, even around turns!

 

I will be "Drifting" all over the place in this car :grin:

A little more progress......



Peace WildBill

 

You drift more than anyone I know, if this Wildcat is not done in 2009 then I don't know what to do to you, but ou: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: and more:spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :blast: :3gears: ou: :beers2: :beers2: :beers2: :moonu:
