Thanks Again everyone!!! The rescue crew was just amazing..... well maybe, HA! No seriously thanks again for everyone who helped us over the weekend!

Just wanted to let everyone know that the tire we came up with got us home safe! thanks again everyone!!!

Kevin i have them shaved on my monte and love it! It took a bit of work but you should be able to handle it. I cut the top layer off with a disc cutter. Then i rolled the under layer over and hammered it down. Then i welded the whole seam a spott at a time. Yes when it rains it runs down the windows..... But for my car that has been in the rain one time who cares. as far as wind it should break off the edge cleaner and have less noise. email me and ill try to come up with some pics. eb_fast@yahoo.com

I have the glasstek fenders, they would be ok for a strip car but i would spend the bucks and go with steel if i had it to do again. I spent a HUGE amount of time to get them straight and mount them and to be honest my car would be nicer with steel fenders. If your concerned with the weight just add more power it is so much easier.

Looking good!

i dont think the loop is going to do much if its only bolted to the sheet metal. should be mounted to the body brace. how about some pics as i am gettign ready to make one for my car. good luck!

DONT SCREW RADIALS! The rim screws dont work right with the radial cords. Look into it. If you have to screw them ie running 9's then from pro recommendations you need at least 16 screws per side of the wheel. The prefered method is to use permatex "high Tach" adhesive on the beads. I had one of mine slip about 5 inches. I am going to high tack them before the next trip out. I have the MT drag radials and the hook hard if you get a little heat into them and run 18 psi in them.

wet layup will work better as it bonds the layers more even.

use the cloth as above to get the best shape. if you staple the glass it wont be able to drape right and will bunch up and distort. i belive if you are using a female mold you paint it with gelcoat and let it tack up i belive. there are different types of gelcoat. do some searching on the internet and you should be able to find step by step, maybe even on the sites i posted for you. good luck

gelcoat is a product. Carbon fiber is much more finiky to work with if you are going to be able to see it as the cloth snags very very easy which makes it look like poop. Overall the CF actually seems to drape better. The cloth i have is twill weave. I havn't used much yet, i was going to make inner fenders with it but i backed out of it. I am very sensitive to glass fibers in my arms, i get irritated by firewall pads at work when doing tuneups.

http://www.uscomposites.com/index.html Ordered some Carbon fiber, glass, filler cloth, resin and some oter stuff from them before. Would recomend checking them out! http://www.fiberlay.com/ <----- never used, just research

A lot of people use the test port on a fuel injected fuel rail for the n2o and its valve core sized. You should run the same sized return as your feed line with a carb. The a1000 will suport a lot more than a stock 502/502 with a couple hundred shot. I am running a dual walbro inline pump setup on my car with the 13202 regulator -10 and -10 lines. I love the pumps, they were around the same price as the a1000 after i bought the Y fitting and other fittings. They were designed to be run just like any average car to 100k plus miles. They are very very quiet. and best part is they flow more than an a1000. If you intrested search for gls392 i belive is the model number. They are inline fuel injection pumps and flow around 60gph @ 50psi up to like 70-80psi. YOu have to run a bypass regulator obviously just like the a1000.

My 700r4 has parts from PATC they have good customer service and parts. For a converter i would shop around patc doesnt make converters, the one i got from the was a midwest. I would look elsewhere for a converter to be honest.

everything had to be custom fit and modified....... i even trimmed the whole edge off the inners and made a new one to fit the fiberglass fenders.

I'll hook you up with the 12 bolt rear out of my monte $1200 from drum to drum. 4.11's like new eaton posi, new aftermarket axle shafts all in good running shape! I have to upgrade and change gears and everything so im just going to get a 9" or dana 60 to help insure against breakage. pm me if intrested
