View Full Version : Wedge nose Dirt LM body...
XXX-Steve 08-30-2009, 04:40 PM Besides the Custom Works Rocket Wedge, is there a dirt oval Late Model body on the market that has a wedge shape to the front for an outlaw class? Preferably around 190-200mm.
If not, you should make one, Gary.

XXX-Steve 08-30-2009, 05:58 PM I'm referring to something more like this...

I like the real sharp angles. Reminds me of the dirt bodies from the eighties I've seen.

Not exactly what you are looking for.
Watchman 08-30-2009, 07:49 PM McAllister, Parma and the old BoLink and a couple of others made them. Closest you could come now is to create your own roll cage on one of the 2 piece bodies from Eldora, McAllister, WindTunnel. McAllister has a 2 piece 200mm LM body
XXX-Steve 08-30-2009, 08:25 PM I wasn't really interested in the "topless" aspect of it. I just want something that has a really long, wedge nose like that. As you mentioned, I'll probably have to make something like this myself. Shouldn't be too hard with some scrap lexan and a few rivets. Not sure how it would hold up at the track I race, though.
A friend bought a new Mustang Mcallister body a few weeks back and said it was probably the closest I'd come to what I'm looking for. The only problem is, I can't seem to find it on the website. Does anyone have a photo of this?

This is the closest thing we have. #115 Wedge Mustang.
Gary McAllister 08-30-2009, 10:19 PM Forgot to mention it is 9" wide.
JimmyMack12 08-30-2009, 10:28 PM I believe Custom Works had, at one time, a body called the "Rocket Wedge". Years ago, Andy's also made one similar. I had a couple, because they were nearly identical to the asphalt Late Models my dad was running at the time (mid to late '80s).
XXX-Steve 08-30-2009, 10:48 PM They still make the Rocket Wedge. It wouldn't fit on my car unless I cut it in half, though.
Gary, that's the one my friend was referring to. Why isn't it on your site? Also, I'm looking at fitting this on a TC4. Would this be too big for it? The Bluegrass body is the widest one I've used.
Gary McAllister 08-31-2009, 09:46 AM 200mm is about 8"...The Wedge Muatang is 9" wide.
XXX-Steve 08-31-2009, 06:48 PM Doesn't seem like it would make that much of a difference. I'll probably hold off and wait until my friend finishes and mounts his to see how it looks.
