Your car looks AMAZING! I'm jealous.

Very clean fuel cell and lines! The car doesn't look too bad either.

Wheel / tire sizes
 
Amazing car!
I love the stance.

What size wheels and tires are those?
Tried to look it up it but couldn't find it.

If I lived closer I'd be there, I don't drink.

Looks awesome Jeff. It's almost Billy-low on the ride height!

So, let's pick another event for a deadline, since you blew the Motorstate one :buttkick:

First that comes to mind, LS Fest? That's only two weeks though, I know you're busy so...how about USCA Pittsburgh? October 4-5. Totally reasonable! See you there :military:

In your first post you said you modified the DSE tubs to get a 14" opening how did you do that? Split them and add some or stretch out the tub? I'm wanting to do the same so I can run the 335 tire just not sure on the easiest and best approach.

Aaron,
I believe it has actually achieved "Billy low", everything has been tucked/cut or removed to get it down on the ground and still maintain a real street capability. At this point I am not shooting for any events this year. I may bring it down to GG Charlotte if I have time to have it at DSE's open house. Diana and I will also be at SEMA/Optima to goof off and hopefully see all folks we could not come out and play with.

The mods on the actual DSE tubs was pretty minor, mostly on the front edge to push it further in. The big gains were made by removing the outer tub and fabbing those to the rear quarters.
