Thinkin about getting one of those "power balls" that you can use on a drill to speed things up a bit??
I already picked up the Mothers Power Cone

I love the look of the polished wheels. Just I couldnt imagine having a black and polished wheels, my whole weekend would be stuck cleaning my car and wheels.

I am assuming the two points you are most worried about are indicated by the red and blue arrows below, am I correct in this assumption? Sorry to draw this out in the thread but want to make sure I can get you the answer you're looking for...

Sorry again for the delay in getting back to you.

Another incredibly busy day at the office - but... tonight is the company Christmas party, and let's just say ours are pretty much out of control. Actually, make that completely out of control. But fun..

Yes Robert, you have the blue and red arrows exactly at the two spots I am most worried about.

BTW, your chassis pics with the arrows are great ! Makes it 10x easier to communicate the idea. Plus the SST is in California and I am in Florida so it makes it tough for me to run out and measure it...:(

Thanks Again !!!

Have you called John at CCW? I would imagine that anything can be done if you got the $$$$ to spend. If he cant do it locally, im sure he would know where to send them.

Really great write-up and pics. posts like this are why I still rely heavily on users rather then vendors to tell what what products are worthwhile.
