Making them with an English wheel, but wouldn't surprise me if someone is making a plastic one the rivots on as I was told someone had one at the world 100 but looked home made.

Blake Spencer had a home made rivet on at the World 100. I assumed they would be illegal next year. Haha

I went and bought an English wheel from harbor freight. It works awesome. And if you have a coupon from one of their booklets they send out monthly you can buy the separate die kit for doing different things almost free because of the discount on the actual English wheel.

Just wait until you work with a "real" English wheel....

[Punisher88]

Yeah I could imagine. Lol. But for what I need it for this one works great. Even helps roll a crease out of some bent metal. Just have to be careful not to stretch it.

Haven't seen one of these fenders myself. Anyone have a reference pic?

[Punisher88]

Any pic of Scott's car from this year. Or davenport

[Krooser]

Polish out those wheels and rollers on that HF wheel and you'll feel the difference.

Wow haven't seen those yet, I have been stuck at the Asphalt stuff. Whats this do to aero, create Sideforce?

[Krooser]

Room for the tire when the car is rolled over on the right...

[7uptruckracer]

or let the tire travel without crushing the fender?

[Matt49]

Hard to see in that pic but what they're doing is lowering the top of the door and subsequently the back of the hood and front of the decking to get a tremendous wedge effect from there back. If they didn't bubble fender up ahead of it, the RF would be rubbing something awful. It really doesn't have anything to do with increased RF travel. That's pretty old news. This has everything to do with getting the front of the decking even lower than the back than what was previously thought possible. We keep it up and we'll need to figure out how to get distributor clearance from the hood.
This is a complete byproduct of lack of rules enforcement. They don't need to make a rule to outlaw this. If they would enforce the existing rules on door height and decking height from front to back, they wouldn't have to worry about this crap.

[Krooser]

All three answers are correct...

[TheJet-09]

I see what Matt49 is saying. Look at how far some of these air cleaners are sticking out of the hood. Unless they have some really tall carb spacer? You also look at the back of some cars and it appears they have the LR jacked up as high as it will go (suspension wise), but because of that I always look at the rear bar behind the fuel cell to see if the chassis is actually raked that far left to right, or they just have the LR decking and everything else mounted that high.

I have an English wheel off of a Triumph.

LMAO!

What do you call a wheel from a Yugo?

[JustAddDirt]

An antique that is worth nothing.
They all broke shortly after being imported into the US, right after the 90day warranty was up.
I think the Fiat 500 line is being built in the same factory as the Yugo’s were.

Overton guys said they used buckshot in a burlap sack with a body hammer to make it round, then smoothed it out with the English wheel. The whole carb on his car sticks through the hood as well, his did not have a spacer on it at the dream in June. They had made cut out and made the hole bigger for the fuel rails, and had made a small bubble for the distributor.

We were parked beside them all weekend, so we got to scope out and ask a lot of questions about certain things. It was said Scott was whining around about it to the ump before the 100 lapper.

[TheJet-09]

That's funny that the guy who bends the rules probably more than anyone, or who has a knack for finding the loop holes, would be the one to whine about something. And I am a Bloomquist fan.
