why flats side would look bad

None of the Pintos or Mustang IIs are unibodies, only the mid-80s Mustangs like Rick Ruchs and Bob's Capri are unibodies.
 
they are

A unibody as my understanding is a car without a full frame from one end of the car to the other. I thought all Mustangs and Pintos were unibodies? Front frame section and then from the firewall back has no frame, body is the frame.

prepainted works fine if you're going with a solid color but what about say Rick's car. It's probably a little harder to find the solid sheets already in Mark Martin's paint scheme.
Mark, are you under the impression that when Rick replaces
a door or a fender that it comes from the salvage yard with
the Mark Martin paint scheme already on it? I'm bettin' he
paints it on those stock fenders, much like you would do
to flat sides...

pinto's mustand II's sunbird's vega's mustang chevettes all are uni body... the only "framed" vehicles we have are the s-10's and the nissan's (maybe) and the ranger's this is one reason Marty went to a truck.... if a pinto was a full framed car I would have fixed it last year!... Jeff even our Astro's van's are unibody's (well mine is)
 
in my opinion we don't need them... You want flat sides then change classes. These are Mini STOCKS and you knew what they were before you got into them. Most of us have our body panels gutted out to nothing already..It's not that hard to put them back into shape. Besides maybe a few of you should think about this when you're out there on the track driving with your head up your butt. Part of racing is having spare parts and you should have known that before getting into it. You can have spares without a junk yard. You just have to be a little organized about it. FEW MORE RULE CHANGES AND WE WON'T HAVE MINI STOCKS ANY MORE.

but then this is just my opinion...
 
In these 4 pages (if I counted right) we have 5 for and 4 against...
All i gotta do is sign up LeaDonna and its a shoe-in...
:D :D :D "FLAT SIDES IN 2005" :D :D :D
Maybe that will up the attendance at the next rules meeting... :D :D :D
 
Boy this thread has brought some people out of the wood work, How are you Bill? Long time since we have heard from you. I hope to see you in a ministock again next year. I had fun the couple times I actually got to race against you.
And Smurf, I do believe the chevette has a full frame! Atleast mine did!!!!LOL
 
WELL STATED Bill!!! Just like Jeff said. You go to flat sides and you lose the identity of this class. And like Bill said you knew getting into this class what you were getting into. You want flatsides and race a 4cyl there is a class out there for that.

And I think you are getting more opinions because people(like myself) are finally getting their computer cleaned up after getting some kind of virus or spyware crap from the main page of this site. I could go to any other site and my computer would be fine. If I would go here my computer would go BONKERS. Thanks Wingsrock and Dirtsurfer for helping me with this.

UHHHHHHHH, no BOB but wasn't part of the argument for the aluminum flat sides that you can get them prepainted so that you could just cut a new fender or whatever, rivet it on and be done. My only point was.... that works fine if you have a solid color car/truck, if not then the prepainted sheets don't make much of a difference, you're still gonna have to paint it just like you would a factory fender. Sorry for the confusion. :rolleyes:

If there's a problem finding 70's model car parts then maybe build something newer, maybe an S-10. They're fairly easy to find and alot of the time you can pick them up fairly cheap. Just a thought. OR you could just build a Pro-Mod and race it @ Doe Run every Friday night. Best of both worlds for ya, flat sides and a Ford 2300. :cool:
