      We were happy with how it turned out. After the final look over we certainly could of improved in several areas. Not to bad for a couple weekend warriors. Thanks for watching!

      No problem. We are known to leave a thing or two loose from time to time. Never hurts to speak up just in case. 👍

    This is super cool I always wanted to know how to set-up the car now I'm 63 yrs.old I was wanting to learn how to do set-ups as a set -up man. Thanks Lmg.

      Our videos are more of a "How We Do It" than a "How To". 😎 Front end setup is easy. Shock, spring, and bar angle are a whole different animal. Thanks for watching!

      I think the car is closer than ever. We did get to the track last weekend, had a slightly better night than the pictures you sent. But it was still a tough first night. Video coming on Sunday!

      Yea for body work 😒. Racing can be tough at times. We have totaled several cars out and blown a few engines as well. Each time it sets you back. If you love it keep on trucking!!

    Nice looking hot rod! A 225 on the right rear is the right call, the car will load/unload much smoother in the corner.

    • @LateModelGarage
      @LateModelGarage  3 года назад

      We think it will help. Spring rubbers can always be added if we need to step it up.

    I have the same car mines an 08 smack updated in 2014 raised crossmember and right rail , hopefully this helps a bit I’m in the 604 class the car is so tight into the corner it’s crazy I always ran sprint cars and I’m used to to the car just going when I think about it lol so the tight nature has got me gun shy now going into the corners

    • @LateModelGarage
      @LateModelGarage  3 года назад

      We have always had tight condition with this car. Mother nature has had us rained out week after week after week. We will be using our new setup that felt better during practice but an electrical problem cut the night short. Keep checking back to see if things get better or worse. We are no experts but are willing to give it our all to figure things out!

    Hey guys I was looking at your video and it looks like the lift arm on top of the rear end was not bolted onto the side bell. ?

    • @LateModelGarage
      @LateModelGarage  3 года назад

      LOL!! There is an "adapter" type plate that is mounted to the lift arm. There are a few open holes at the top but we assure you it is bolted on. This entire rear end lift bar set up came out of a 2000ish Shaw Late Model. Seems like some grass roots fabrication took place at some point. It has been working okay for us so far but I am confident a new lift bar will be coming soon. Thanks for watching!

    The only way to correct the left side is to cut the upper a frame off and set it and reweld it

    • @LateModelGarage
      @LateModelGarage  3 года назад +1

      The new Mastersbilt cars do have different mounts for the uppers on both sides. We ran out of time and money to complete that upgrade in the off season. MB said they can get us the parts to do it. Perhaps this winter....
