SACRILEGE! RIPPING OUT THE STRAIGHT AXLE AND SWITCHING BLASPHEMI TO A-ARMS!

Can you believe I've made 310 episodes of Finnegan's Garage? I'm amazed that my wife still lets me wake the neighbors with open headers and smoke out the living room as I cut, grind, weld and wrench in our basement garage. This episode is all about fixing the front end of Blasphemi in preparation for a return to Hot Rod Drag Week. After assessing the damage incurred at the Midwest Drags event in June, we hauled Blasphemi to Scotts Hot Rods in Knoxville, Tennessee to upgrade the front suspension and steering to a long-travel a-arm setup. Scott's not only builds IFS conversions but also crafts full chassis and complete custom vehicles builds. Want more info? Go here: https://scottshotrods.com We also installed new triple-adjustable Viking Performance Coilovers. Get more info on those here: https://www.vi-king.com And Blasphemi has always wore Wilwood disc brakes but after 10 years on the road it was time for now new parts so they also got a refresh.

Go here: https://www.wilwood.com Things are about to get a lot more efficient here at Finnegan's Garage because I now have better tools and equipment thanks to the folks at B&P Manufacturing, who helped create the FSM line of Garage Gear. Moving 55-gallon drums of race fuel, axles, or heavy boxes is no longer a problem now that I have these incredible aluminum carts, dollys and hand trucks with wheels that never go flat! You, too, can enjoy your own FSM-branded equipment from B&P by clicking here: https://www.bpmfg.com/mike-finnegans-... Also, I just dropped a new Blasphemi shirt design that was created by my friend, Chris Hosner and it's one of our best collaborations yet! We made this one to celebrate our return to competition at Hot Rod Drag Week 2024 and you can join Team Party Pulley but clicking here: https://www.fsmgarage.com Thanks for watching! -Finnegan
