    I read that post a few days ago. I am aware that keeping ur control enviorment controlled, u must be able to keep inside air, inside and outside air outside. I plan on doing the weathstripping thing nx year. My weatherstripping is in pretty fair shape comparatively speaking. I have'nt found any chuncks missing.

    Got an SFI Summit balancer on the suggestion of Joe Dirt. Looks like a quality piece. Now to find the time to put it on. :16suspect

    I won't get to make it to the Gathering.:cry:

    They decided to pick this week to move us around in the shop and refinish the floors. It's been one big mess! Really disappointed I won't get the time off.

    No @#$%. I love that scheme. One of the coolest ideas I've seen on here. I hope you can match the rest of the car to that road race look. Going to take the right stance adn wheels etc to pull it off but man it will look good.

    Look sgood. cant wait to see the car togethor. Going ot need some early road race type wheels, or the very leasy some Torq Thrust Ds would be close.

    Sorry Everett, that car never existed, you can stop your search.

    Those wheels will look good withthe theme. I wouldnt paint them orange if it was my car. Id do them gray again. But it may look nice. Go with your gut.

    Do those fronts fit the wheel wells? They look pretty deep.

    That's gonna look killer. When you first showed the louvered hood I didn't get it, but seeing it in paint it all makes sense now. Looks amazing.
