1965 Satellite, make it look like a 1960's drag car...

[Paul Stanczak]

I have a 1965 Satellite, how can I raise it up a few inches 3-5, to look like Sox and Martins car of the 1965 drag racing scene?

Thanks, Paul in Waterford, MI.

If only for looks crank the torision bars to the max and tall front tires. OR install a straight front axle kit from Speedway Motors.

 

[Paul Stanczak]

is it okay to turn the torsion bars up and drive it, say maybe 2 0r 3 inches?

also what about raising the rear axle?

thanks, Paul

If you really want to get it up put the axle under the leaf springs. You can buy spring perches and weld them on the other side of the hosing. get them here.

Mopar Super Stock springs are designed to raise the rear of the car approximately 2 inches, so I would start there. Use a large diameter tire (on a narrow 15 inch rim) and crank up the torsion bars. That is how it was done on 60's Super Stock cars.

You can crank it up only so far before it can not be alighned.....................MO
