dont get me wrong, i like the deep-dish look, but sheesh... that is going a little overboard i think.

i guess i'll have to see it again when the widebody stuff is done

that car will be sick, go and get a custom dashboard made of fiberglass that's modernized and it will kick ***! Inside and out. Talk about a show car.

Actually I'm currently thinking about doing this now since my current setup seems like it might not work.

Truck tires huh? I have followed your engine buildup from the beginning... you are veering off into the "?beyond" grey area on the direction the wheel/tire, and interior are headed..

You are putting a ton of work into this car and it is safe to say that we are all excited to see how she turns out..

Ha! I'm thinking the same thing. Thousands going into his car and we have to look at a cell phone shot! Maybe we should take up an offering for a cheap digital camera?

Eagerly watching your progress dude, keep going!

yeah those tires did come off a truck but i plan on running bfg drag radials in the rear, 275/50r15 does sound better than the above.

Now as far as the camera issue, i have a digital camera its just easier with the cell phone. Take picture, connect to pcwith bluetooth and pictures on pc. Unlike my digital camera that batteries die after 10 pictures.

What motivated you to run 15's? Is this going to be a drag racing car or something?
