can any of you guys with a sand scorcher measure the front and rear trackwidths for me? from the outsides of the tires will work just fine.

thanks in advance. :)

When I get back to storage I can (not sure when, but sometime this week), unless someone beats me too it. Jim probably could do it momentarily.

well, when i look at scorchers on ebay, the front tires don't seem to stick out of the fenders all that much. i was looking at the one scollins built, since his has the short front arms. his stick out farther than a stock scorcher. but how much, i don't know. it doesn't seem like all that much. maybe a 1/2" on either side or so, from looking at pics.

mainly, i'm just trying to figure out what i'd need to do to keep the same dimensions as an original scorcher, but still utilize all of the asc. parts. i have a feeling in order to do it, i'm not gonna want to use the car i had planned on using. but, we'll see...............

Maybe use two Andy's oval arms, one on each side? Didn't Gary M offer the same thing? (Doug would know)

i was thinking more along the lines of a 10t noseplate, with a narrow andy's bulkhead and shock tower, and the stock ae short a-arms. but, i'll end up having to ditch some of the original white parts and lose the gold nose plate. unless i cut that up, too. but, i really don't want to have to do that.
