Altereds / Re: What did I do

Been awhile on here for this thread, my apologies.  Thanks soo much for the insight on these Altered’s.
The last launch I was was a violent wheelie and went to the right a little.   Needless to say I got out of it and then bounced off all 4 tires!!!    I got a real good schooling that day and am ready for the next hit.  Trying to get it out this month and will try and remember to give feedback.

It IS a monster…

Hi guys,
  It has been quite a learning curve in the altered.  1.08 60ft was a start.   Tried a 1/8 pass but the front wheels went about 2 feet up so I need to do my chassis plotting.

So, where do most Altered’s end up with a lift point to keep the chassis reaching out but not too high?
Chassis lifts way too much.  I will know my chassis numbers (ie, neutral line, I/C, C/G and all my 4 link hole locations this weekend with weight in the chassis, race ready... it’s not a door car and I set my car up but I need to calm down the altered and get it going down range not up too high.   

Just curious what others have set up at.

Not sure if I can still use photobucket for pics or not!!!

Thanks for the info an pointers as well.

Thanks draw3d, they are Anglia spindles.
Um, will you sell me your front wheels?
There the exact style I want.   Anyone have a set for sale?  The alum. Kind not the magnesium.

I’m looking for a pair of these wheels.  I don’t want the magnesium but the alum. Wheels.
Ken Veney and the Bob Banning Dodge Challenger And Mazmanian used to run them.
American wheels no longer makes them and I would love to have a set for my Altered.
Any help is appreciated.

I found a little info .    Should  have done my homework before this post.
The spindles say CSPE on the top plate.

 OK, let’s get this party started.    How do I tell what spindles I have on my 32 Bantam 125 inch altered chassis?   Built at Advanced Chassis in the 80’s.   I will call them Tuesday but  thought maybe I could get the answer before then.
 Any help is appreciated.

 What’s the process to post a picture?

Yeah since I’ve got the altered I need a Group to race with.

Sheets of material I suppose.

I will try out that 3m stuff too and see if the glue comes off.
Thanks for the info guys.

Hi all,   
  Well, my wife and I bit The bullet and bought a 1932 Bantam altered with a 540 big block Chevy in it.
Goes high 7.9’s/8.0’s.  What a rocket ship compared to my 3500 pound El Camino running eights.
Has a glide of course and is definitely a learning curve for me.   I did two small hits and the best 60 foot was 1.08 and it scared the crap out of me

Next time out I hope to do a nice 300Ft to 8th mile pass and see how it goes.
I need to figure out how to attach some pictures.

Hey all,
  I acquired a 32 Bantam altered and I am looking for that prism decal material that changes colors as it moves.
Anyone still have some of this stuff from the 70’s or newer stuff?  Decal was soo cool going down the tracks at night past the light poles...

Also, I can’t get the old glue off the body to save my butt... tried thinner, goo gone, wd40... I’m about to get the sander out and destroy a great paint job.
Any help is appreciated.
