Re: Cars finally Looking the part

Per the shipping it was 46 pounds for both wheels Boxes and packing I was surprised on how light it was withthe tire.. and the BFH LOL yea slight mod had to be done to the front part of the fender well by the control arm. nothing 3 or 4 slight love taps couldn't fix.
car is getting there I'm so excited. Might be able to drive it around the sub this weekend Just to annoy the neighbors
they hate my loud cars anyways.

Re: Cars finally Looking the part

Well thank you Maybe thats the reason I haven't driven it yet. No honestly the reason I haven't driven it yet is I'm afraid to because the urge to hit the gas is too much and without SFC that would be a real ouch.. I have idled it out of the garage and down the driveway and backed it into the garage. so it goes in reverse real good LOL

Re: Cars finally Looking the part
