The car is FWD. You want SKINNY wheels on the rear.

Cut weight ,you can shave about 100 pounds just adding a solid rear axle. I am building a drag car to promote my shop, I want to try something different its been do alot, I just need a little insight.

I want to build something similiar to this

 

check the drag racing forum -- there are quite a few companies that make bolt-on solid rear axle setups. the tin work is pretty easy once you have the axle in.
