Thanks John and Vince!!! Glad to be here. I have been following Aquartlow's build and mod posts for some time and it often lead me here, so I figure I'd join. I was digging both your build's and got a couple new ideas from them already! Cheers, Doc |

Well guy's in full disclosure, it's a 30' paint job. It's outstanding at 30' but get any closer and things begin to show That said she is a "Chero" and today she hit 127 mph, on a closed course, with a professional driver in accordance with all state and federal laws. Ish Cheers, Doc

Hey Steve! Was looking at your ride and it's pretty awesome!! I like what you did with the slots and paint. I'm seriously considering 275/60's for the back end of Midnight and 235/60's up front on 8's as I have a bit of wheel rub on the right front with the 235/70's all around. Just need to fill that back wheel well up a bit more. My first car was a 77 T-Bird but I have been driving pickups since the 80's so now I have the best of both worlds Cheers, Doc

This is mine with 275/60-15 rear and 245/60-15 on the front, all with 15x8 Cragar soft 8's. Although if i was doing it again, I'd run nines or tens on the back. I run station wagon springs on the back and haven't had any interference issues.
