That's exactly what the guy did whenever i take my wheels off and he would put them back on again using those studs. Works pretty good too.

thx Bob!

Thank you the compliment. No interior pics. Interior is Grey and Charcoal. No numbers to it yet. Still finishing up some minor details on it. I'll post dyno once the engine is completed.

I agree, James when is your car going actually be driven?
I think your car goes out to get its picture taken and visit Colorado to see the Rockies lose.

The car will be driven later on today. Just heard a sound clip of the idle and sounded pretty nasty! Not as loud as what you have just because i think it's an overkill for my personal tastes. But i'm pretty satisfied with it. I'll see if i can upload a sample clip later when i get back from lunch.

This is the thread that got me started on photographing cars in the 1st place. We all know the car is awesome, but the photographer really has a pro eye. And a sharp camera.

Jam, nice car.

Ling, nice skills.

Actually at that time those wheels were dirty. Need to get them cleaned when the car gets back.

Thanks Roupin!
