So I snapped some pics while I was setting up:






YES I know the rims don't match anymore, my big brake upgrade up front caused my skinnies not to fit so I had to buy 17" rims. As soon as someone buys my pro star fronts I can afford some rear rims and then buy the billet specialties for there too

 

The car looks great! I really like the look of the 17 up front. What size tire are you running on that?

 

215/60R17 falken tire

it's like a 27.3" tall tire, thought that would look better than a short tire with my 28" drag radial out back in 295/55R15

 

newest mod on the car, bought it from Denny at thirdgen ranch. It was good to see him and hang out again for a bit.

 

Lookin good man ....sucks that the weather worked out like it did for the fest I was looking forward to jawjackin awhile

 

Ya I was definitely looking forward to sitting in the lawn chair circle and BSing for a few hours. The rain was horrible, first time my car has seen it in 11 years BARELY made it up the trailer ramps with the slicks on the rear, started to walk sideways on them, didn't think of that with the smooth ramps on the open trailer.


Maybe we'll meet up at another show this summer/fall, anything bigger coming up?

 

Headed to the Monmouth cruise this Friday, draws about 2000 cars normally. We are headed to Detroit for the WoodWard Dream Cruise in just over two weeks, got a hotel right on Woodward this time so really looking forward to that.

 

Monmouth is right before WIU college right? Little too far of a drive for me Heard the woodward cruise is bumper to bumper traffic, any truth to that? So you don't really get to see much.

 

Ya Monmouth is just the other side of Galesburg from you .....Woodward gets rocking most of the week before the Sat. the cruise is actually on but traffic still flows fairly good, the cruise route is 16 miles end to end and is 4 lanes each direction for most of it. On Sat by noon it gets pretty crazy if you choose to cruise but if you sit the cruise comes to you......with 50,000 cars it is 8 lanes of non stop car show rolling past all day long.

The Sat of the cruise it starts rolling about 5am......youtube has a crap load of woodward stuff on it, if you watch a few it will give you a pretty good idea how awesome this cruise is.
