Re: latest pics

good job, it looks good. If it were mine i'd leave the rims and go with a lower profile tire, I don't mind the 'ol slots.

Re: latest pics

Looks good! I'd keep the slots and get some bigger diameter rubber for the rear. Slots are old school, and so are "Big and Littles"

Re: latest pics

The drop looks awesome. Get it in one solid color of primer, and leave those slots alone.

Re: latest pics

polish the slots and find some cheap center caps ... new tires will do wonders ... and as Ken said, get it all one color ... I prefer light gray if its gonna stay in primer but that's a personal preference.

(i got one in gray primer )

Re: latest pics

here are the latest pics tried to get some primer on the bare steel, and make it look more presentable I put the 2600# dominators all the way around, like the stance of the rear aired out but the front is way to high for my taste now(aired out)
I never knew how addicting it would be to get lower I am looking for some drop spindals to get the front end lower without to much modifacation. I need to cut out the bump stops and can gain alittle there for now. Eric
