I just ordered a set of Joe's weights the other day, I didn't know he even had full sized weights any longer, I wish I would have known.
What are the specs of your sons car ?.... I would have thought a full fender car would have been the faster car.

You could also use a protractor and draw a short line and then extend it, it gave similar results, but I screwed up the first time.   |

I would have thought a full fender car would have been the faster car. , I'm not sure if he still has anymore. I use them because a full/half combo perfectly balances the car. The results are more indicative of my skills as a builder. In no way am I being humble in saying that everyone on this board is a better craftsman than me, except that D1ck The Zeebzob, I think I can beat him. |
