Isn't it amazing how just a simple wheel and tire change --- can change the entire car?!?!?!



It went from this......













To something my Mother would drive....

GW calling SSFS-'This is Greg Weld, I'd like to talk to the pre-paint spare wheel dept. I have a complaint.'

SSFS-'Greg, glad you called. HQ wanted to tell you how little prep work your car needs to get it ready for paint. Man, that will save of uh.. how do you pro-touring posers say it, a lot of ?'

SSFS- 'So, what was your complaint?'

GW- 'Really, I'll save how much?!

Uh, I uh wanted to complain about the traffic in your area when I'm allowed to visit.'





Ok...back to black(walls).

Default I see what you are writing about

on the wheel change, but I think the addition of the hood and sides took a the raw look away from it as well.

I would have to drive it both ways...engine covered and not covered and put those wheels back on.
