Default Wheelstander???

Not sure what the end result will be like but it should be interesting to drive... After we stripped out and scrapped our demolition derby cars, I suggested to one of my grade 11 students to connect the
diff directly to the transmission from one of the Falcons and make it go! The engine is sitting in an EB front end and the seats will be located above the diff. Not sure if it will wheelstand but it will be fun trying...

I think it will twist apart before any wheel standing action. But I guess you will be bracing the chassis a little moe than you have now....

It is nowhere near finished yet and it will be braced and mig welded to my liking before I try anything with it...

Not enough weight over the rear to get a wheel stand out of it.
