Lippy, Leon & Larry's KS Twister & Cherokee Warrior

Lippy, are you saying that bar is bent into the cockpit????

[Lippy]

Yes Rock, it starts back at an angle and goes in a couple inches. When I'm in the car it's at the bottom of my ribcage. If I tried to turn or fight the wheel, my elbows hit the bulge and won't let me steer. Moving the steering box won't help. I think the bar will have to be replaced with a straight one, the seat sides flattened out and we could run wheel spacers to kick the tires out a little.

Or just put on some Weld wheels with the correct offset for the car.

Lippy please don't run wheel spacers. I value you here on the board too much for that. I don't like spacers for any application street or strip but especially where you are going to punish the wheels.

That's a possibility too Randy. Leon told me they used to run wheel spacers on fuel funnies for a variety of reasons. He said they wouldn't hurt anything. I don't care for them either, but somehow, I think what he's talking about aren't the VW to chevy adapter kind.

Jim, I could quit eating for a year and my ribs would still be in the same spot!

Don't worry Wheelz, I'll be around to hassle you guys for a little while yet.

[Rapid Randy Baker]

Back in the small block days we ran 1/4 or 1/2 inch. They were just solid steel spacers. Never was a problem, but I didn't like it much. No reason really, just didn't like the idea of it, more than any real reason.

If Leon says it is ok, I am good with it.

[Lippy]

Randy, I'm the same way, like in the old street days, the old slotted alum wheels and mags, you had to always check em to make sure they were tight, a good idea anyway, but they tended to come loose more than they should have. With those stupid aluminum spacers, they were dangerous I thought. You know Leon, if it's good for a hundredth he'll do it. Damn Steve, full speed ahead!! Just kidding!! Nothing will go on the car without passing the Rapid, Super Lippy, Leon X-Ray and scrutiny test!!!! I am very fortunate to have people around me who care about my well being. We feel the same way about you and all our racings friends. That's cool right there! Makes a guy feel pretty darn good!!!
