Congrats, your car is very well put together.

Did you have a hard time fitting the 295's in the back? I did'nt think we could go that wide...

Re: Feburary 2013 COTM **WINNER**

Want to hear that cam as well.

Also, you did drop spindles and cut the rears to drop 2" as well. This is what I wanted to do but went with extended ball joints instead (with MOOG springs), but I love the stance of your car!! How is the performance / handling with the drop spindles/MOOG combination?
