      They look better in the pictures! I had to rush cleaning them up cause of a small issue I ran into but I will take more time and pay more attention to detail this coming weekend, there is a lot of shine to be had here.

      So I am thinking of a new ROTM theme and classification at the M&G "most improved F-Body" Come on now who can make that happen

            Does that show you better? Its the same as having a 4th gen rear in a 3rd gen... I am not sure I like the look.

                  • Dang Darren this thing is really coming along!!!!! Looks great, bud!!!! And I think I like the stance/width of the wheels, the only concern I can see is if the rear tire hits wheelwell.

                      • Wow Darren - those rims look REALLY nice.

                        Hope it's nice out this Friday, and I get to see it.

                          Thanks Scott, I have all the pictures in order on my facebook and I know my car isnt as nice as some would have wanted theirs to be but its a lot better then before. But anyway its really cool to see the pictures in order from start to finish or to this point (its not finished) The back ones bottom out a little on the high way as like 85MPH when I hit a bump, so I think a nice meeting with the BFH and they should be fine, I was just worried about the look of it sticking out so far like a 4th gen rear in a 3rd gen...

                          Haha they look better in pictures I think, I dunno. I am not sold on them yet, I just could not pass the killer deal I got on them and they look much better then stock.

                            There's a better way to do this...... http://www.eastwood.com/autobody/fen...struction.html ........of course that would mean having to buy one of those, or maybe if you could find someone over there with one that would roll it for ya.


                            BTW- Can't you load those pics "start to finish" here now too....I thought that's what this new blog thing was for here???
