Looks good Chris. I bought a set of Qualifiers for mine but haven't mounted them up yet. what lug nuts did you use?
Jim..
I just cut down my Mark Williams lug nuts.. (5/8") so they would fit. I have spoke with Centerline about this and they are going to fix it. The machining of the lug areas are too small for the large lug nuts. Fronts no problem..

Cool! Nice to see it coming back together. I must admit I man-cried a little when you wrecked it. You did fix the brake issue, right...

Glad to see it coming back together, test that chute a few times, haha.
Will be pulling it @ 1/8th mi. to check it.. Now the problem is... I don't know how to pack a chute.. Maybe I'll just have a couple extra in waiting.. Probably a "how to" on youtube..

OK...Wait...
You have talked to Billy D right??
Sooooo.. Do you want to see my car in the weeds again??
I really don't think I want Billy to be packing a chute..

Did the wing go on easily?
Not too bad.. No real instructions, just kind of "winged it"..
The worst part is that you have to drill holes in the body for the outside Dzus fasteners.
That was hard to watch..
The fit is very nice and Ed Quay is having a sale right now..

The plan was to re-paint the entire car. But I'm running out of time. The last time Kenny Youngblood painted the car, he had it from April til September.. Was supposed to be 6 weeks..
Don't know yet. I may just match the front end and go race for awhile.. Then have it re-painted during my down time.. When it's 110+ out here..
Right now I'm just trying to get it ready to test out here in January..

Looking good. Love the wheels..Bumper, we dont need no stinking bumper. Close up those holes and put on some paint. I think it is time to get out there and test all those new parts and pieces. Look forward to seeing you guys in Febuary and doing some racin
Definitely going to test before paint.. Wheels are courtesy of Centerline..
Can't wait to test all those "new parts"..
Do you have T-Stop envy?
My "to do" list is getting smaller..

Chris, if it were my car, I'd just have to sit in it all day... Eat, drink... everything.. I love those cars bodies so much. I used to love the Hurst Darts the most, but seeing your and Al's cars everyday on here has really made me see the light.. Looking great.. Do you need some stickers? Have a great Christmas..

Ya know Chris...not trying to be a jerk or anything...
But I'd like to see Billy D actually make that left turn at the end of Firebird a few times before I put any new paint on that front end...
I'm JUST SAYIN'.....
and let Sandra pack the chute. She cares more about the driver than the driver cares about himself...
