Plans for the Sploval

Here are my plans for the Sploval
Color--L 21 Pearl Gray
Interior--Brick Red
Wheels--Rocket 5 Spokes
Front Beam-- Adj 4in beam Disc brakes 2in Drop spindel
Engine--2110 044cb heads empi 44 carbs

kinda going for the 70s/80s Gasser look
i think it will turn out sweet if i ever start

I am building this car for me
So I am going to build it how I want it lol

put a narrowed beam under it !!! by the time you add disc brkes to a girlie 4 in. beam your right back where you started....... after all these years of looking @ our cars....can't teach you anything.....




Looks like a faded out LD ride !

Shit he wishes lol
what size beam should I run? I dont want it to be as narrow as yours is
and I still want a good ride

the sploval will kick some BK ass just wait and see I Hope lol

mine rides great ! hell Keep it wide.. it will for sure look like a faded LD ride...

i am asking your opinion lol
what size should i go with

I've got a 6 under mine and it rides good will be great once I get dropped spindles on it. Right now the only bad is the lack of travel on big bumps. A 4" beam with discs should put you in the neighborhood of 3" to 3.5" narrowed. Depeneds on how low you want to go.

I have a 5 and dropped spindles

but my next one will b 6

I run a 6 with drop spindles ..... when I can afford disc brakes it should look like 4.5 - 5 inch narrowed

I've got adapters on mine to get the porsche pattern for now so it ends up close to a 3.5" for now.

I have almost the same setup on my VW exept I run with 7" and I also have disc brakes with conversion back to 5/205. So in the end I guess i'm back to 4.5 - 5 inch narrowed again.
Are you other guys using stabilizer on your narrowed beam?

No stabilizer here ...

Mohawk, We don't need stabilizers. We trailer our crap!!

I think you need to worry bout getting your car a lil more arse before you worry bout how it drives..... baby motor like that don't really matter about the stabilizer !
