Figured it would be fun to have a look back at my latest alumicraft rebuild. What started as a new transmission turned into a full frame down re-vamp while I waited for an Albins. The initial goal was to build a 6200 car to go compete with Connon McMullen at local races. Fast forward to today...

Yes, a 35 spline axel is larger and stronger. I would run a 35 with that car spec. If you don't want to make the change from 33 right now, I advise cryo treating the axels and CVs for added strength.

Sir, welcome to the Alumicraft obsession. Hope you make/made good money :ROFLMAO:

I would keep the 33s; it is the correct paddle for that car. Just because you have the HP doesn't mean everything else can handle a 36. It will also set the car up much higher, which won't result in a better driving experience. Just my 2 cents.

We have been in that park since the 90s and Pratt just rebuilt it a few years back. Not sure how that would be a negative when you own everything! He purchased the land from the McMillins. Corky McMillin was the original developer of the campground, store, and paradise (now duners diner)...

*This won't work with a no-lift shift mechanism.

Wait, you guys lift when you shift? 🥳

Yes, double boot is standard because of that. Roy at ProAm came up with it. Most things Jmar are just a knock off of ProAm.

Fascinating. I will get a picture of the outer boot this weekend and post it. My boots just float on the axel.

I have outboard hubs on my car and the stationary boots have a good amount of sand in them after each trip. Does anyone have tricks or tips for keeping sand out of the outer boot?

I'll sell you my 2 seater.

Some more orange alumicraft inspiration from two of my ex cars.

This car is going to be so cool! Thanks for the update.

To over simplify- I always set up my cars so the back locks up just before the front. If fronts lock up first then the car will push into a turn.

I really like the idea of the Racer front engine car, but with an albins ST6.

He is building cars and has several on order and in production. That's where I would go if I was building a car.

I would not convert the car to mid engine. I would run a N/A k24 engine and a mendeola 2d. Keep the weight off the back of the car and it will work much better than a mid-engine.
