Hey DOC,

I just revisited your pictures and build again. Great job! Seeing your ride brings back tons of fantastic memories of all the times I have seen the Blue Angels perform! I will only be concerned when you start to put on the afterburners! LOL

thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the compliments everyone.

Got the MPD-1 spoiler and installed it; looks great! Been working from early to dark the last few days so I haven't had time to take some good pics but Thursday I'm off and I'll take some good shots and post them then.

Here's a few shots of the way it looks now with the MPD-1 rear spoiler. I really like the looks of this spoiler! The car is dusty and needs washing but it's overcast and the clouds were coming in fast so I'm not washing it today. In fact you can see by the last photo how dark it was getting to be with dark clouds coming in already blocking the sun.

In the first 2 pictures you can see the gray metallic on the tail light bezels. I got another darker shade of paint and repainted them but they're still lighter than I was envisioning. I tell you, the color on the caps of the paint cans always seems to be much darker than the actual paint.

Thinking about it, but I have to come up with something that doesn't look hokey.

hey I was wondering if you don't mind me asking could you pm the place you got those rims from and how much they cost. Also was curious what size 275 those are 275-?-19"
That car is bad ass looking. I'm looking for my next mods I want to buy when I get back home at the end of the summer. I'm thinking of doing 275-30-19 in the front and 305-30-19 in the rear.

The rims are from Nutek and they are the 505 model which I had custom painted. Contact Nine Ball on the forum; he's a dealer and can give you pricing. Tire size is 275/40 19 on all 4 wheels. I'm building a road car as opposed to a drag racer so handling was more important to me than just rear tire grip.

Thank you for the compliment

A 30 is a pretty low profile tire and you'll feel it; they don't ride as comfortably as a 40 profile. That's not an issue for a 1/4 miler though so it depends on what you intend to use it for. I wanted some sidewall flex to help absorb the shock of supporting such a heavy car while on the street and a road course. The car handles beautifully and has a very snug but comfortable ride. Going around a corner at speed it predictably goes from mild understeer to neutral to very mild oversteer as you control it with the throttle. And this is with the factory sways! I'm studying sway bar options at the moment to decide what to do there.

If things go right my next performance mod will be a one-piece carbon fiber driveshaft.
