Thanks guys.  I called Peyton but couldn't get em on the phone, will keep trying.

I'm in Seattle but don't figure I'll find what I want locally.  I'm pretty sure I'll be paying shipping no matter what.  I also see some units on ebay that'm considering, but those are unknowns to me.

Well my 427/520 is still in-work, so I cut/powdercoated/lit another sign for the shop.  This one is a little over 5' wide.

Powdercoating dead hookers much?
Love the sign

Hey if a customer pays for it, I'll find a way to PC it.   

The one I made for myself is 48", but I don't have a good pic of that one yet.  The one pictured is a 30" sign that I made for a buddy.  I built a powder coat oven that you could fit like 8 dead hookers in, but unfortunately my plasma table only has a 4x4 envelope so that's as big as I could go.

Thanks, Bruce.  I'm thinking a Dynamic C6 is what I'll go with, but I have some time yet to decide.

I grew up in Arizona and can attest to how intense those dust storms can be.  Funny how those are the kinds of things you miss after leaving the area.

On a related note...monsoons.  If you've never seen an Arizona monsoon, they are quite impressive. 

My brother and I both lived in Mesa for several years while working at the Boeing plant there.  We also had a pair of Yamaha R1s (crotch rockets).  A couple times a week after work we'd ride from Mesa out to Canyon Lake along State Route 88 which was a good 30-40 minute ride, the latter half of which was full of some great twisties.  This was particularly fun during the monsoon season because on the way out we'd be riding straight for these ominous clouds that were building and the sky would turn this intense dark grey, and then just as the downpour started we'd try to beat it back to the house.  I can still smell that rain hitting the hot pavement.

Good times.

Jay, I'm just now realizing that the Blue Thunder valve covers I was planning to buy for my new build are not readily available.  Can you add me to your list?  I'd even take a blem set as I'll be powder coating them.

I think you'd have to fabricate a minitub, but for what its worth with the leaf springs moved inboard as shown in my earlier pictures, I was able to fit a 29.5/10.5-15 Hoosier slick in the factory wheelwells.  The car ran 9.50s with that setup.

Thanks Jay, appreciate the info.  Since I have to start somewhere, I'll probably order some 295/55-15 ET Streets (or perhaps the taller 295/65-15) and see if I can stuff them in there with the current backspacing on my 15x8 Cragars...and then go with a different backspacing if required.  Your Hoosiers have a 13.0" section width whereas the ET Streets I'm looking at are only 11.9" and 12.0."  If I do have to move the leaf spring in, I will probably try and talk you into taking a better pic of how you did the forward attach point as that's hard to see in the pics you posted.   Then if this isn't enough traction I'll entertain more drastic measures.

Thanks for the input, guys.
