Thanks trek,

One of them got a serious scar in the cheapo paint during balancing... Could have been one of the tire shop guys... Could have been one of dads employees as he sent them with one of his trucks... IDK... Oh well just track wheels....

bagh. The pre-87 cars never look like they have the correct offset wheels in the rear.

Just do a quick touch-up.
Spray the paint on a paper plate, use a little paint brush to fix it.
Should match fine and no masking!

Besides, the rubber was free.... Take what you can get.

Nice choice. I would have suggested black.

Hooray Chad is coming back out lol...



Yup I will see you unless it is wet... If I get up and its wet tomorrow or fixing to rain... I'm going back to bed. These tires won't grip in the wet... and my street tires won't grip at autocross dry....

Ahh.... I'm not too worried about it with these wheels... It just looks bad b/c these tires are tiny.

It doesn't look like that on street wheels.

Crawled under the trailer... FARKING mouse had chewed on all the wires. It was all shorted out.... So dad and I just spent 4hrs rewiring the trailer.... Good thing he keeps all that stuff in stock...

Looks pretty good from here, but how 'bout another photo of 'em on a sunny day... those are kinda dark.

Hope you wake up to a dry day and get to run... run smooth, run fast, and most of all, have fun.

P.S. I see y'all have some solar panels on the roof of your garage... what do y'all run with 'em?

Looks good. Much better than the clown car livery I imagined when you said you wanted red and yellow.
