Thanks for the compliments. I am VERY HAPPY with the way it turned out.

How much do the rear rims weigh?
Is it going to effect u 1/4 time bc of the weight?

Hagi,
I'll still run the same lightweight wheels and slicks along with the skinnies up front for drag racing. I have spacers that will push them out enough to be okay. No weight gain there.

As far as road racing it feels great!! Its always pushed because we need more front tires and camber but the other problem was accelerating out of corners and now I can go WOT much sooner.

I am having a camber kit(front and rear) installed and going to try running 275-35-18 fronts with the 315 rears. That should help with the push we've always had in the front. Only time will tell.

Wow, looks very aggressive yet not too sporty and retains that OEM look. Job well done!

Unfortunately it didn't stay there very long. Keith ran multiple 1:21's that session before the fronts gave out. As fast or faster than a slew of impressive track cars with very experienced drivers.

No problems with the spacers.

One of the great tricks that Dave did was pull the entire rear fender out which does help with the rear tire visibility. I think you will be satisfied.

The best part of the new rear tires is the fact that you can accelerate much harder out of the corners without the rear coming out like it did before. Howard did a GREAT job driving his car and staying with me. I believe with some seat time he could have run better times than mine with my car. He's a great road race driver.

There are video's under the Flat Out Motorsports Roebling road thread.

The fender looks like a body-matched satin, to the gloss finish on the rest of the car. Has it not been cleared/polished yet? Just curious.

The body shop was not done with it when I had to leave for Roebling road so he quickly put color on it so it didn't look terrible. Its back at the body shop getting the fenders finished and all painted to match the car with clear etc..... Hopefully next week.
