Sorry that I was gone all weekend. Had an 18 year aniversary with my lovely wife and she needed some attention.

I had the same issue 12 years for us.

btw Happy Aniversary

It goes by in a flash!

Tubs are in now it is time to mock up the rims and tires

Damn! Those wheels look killer on the car!

[Payton King]

I really like them a lot. It is hard to tell in the pics but it is a polished lip and a matte center that has been clear coated. I must still be a little old school as I like a little bit of shine on my rims.

They look killer Payton, you and me think alike

What's the reason for widening the DSE tubs? And did you have to modeify the frame rails any differently than the way DSE does for the standard mini-tubs?

That looks killer Payton.. you're making a great car even better!

Leaving the underside yellow?

[Payton King]

I am leaving the bottom yellow. I like the contrast with the black suspension and polished look of the exhaust. Going to do the gas tank black but leave the stainless straps.

I wanted plenty of room in the wheel well is why we widened them. Running a 12.5 rim and the 335's is close to 14 inches from tire bulge. I think I have 15.5 inches now at the closest point. We did get into the frame deeper, Dan plated it up so we would no loose any strength.

It took me years to decide on the color of yellow that I wanted. It is Dodge Viper Racing Yellow sprayed on a white sealer/base.
