Tech QuestionChris Zielsdorf, Rainier, OR, 1976 Plymouth Volare 360 I would like to change my upper control arms. I would like a tubular set so I can run an 8 inch wheel. If not, how difficult is it to modify mine? I don't have a whole lot of money for custom built pieces, so I would like to keep the cost low. I know that magnumforceracing.com was thinking about making them, but they said they didn't have enough interest and didn't make them. Chris- First of all, the factory 15 x 8" wheel clears with NO mods- Volare Street Kit Cars and Super Coupes had 'em, OEM standard equipment! Then, if you upsize to 16" or 17" wheels, the problem totally goes away...you can go 9" wide if you'd like. Typically, the interference point is the ball joint top, anyway - even tubular arms don't change this. Rick
