The Red Queen is dead! Long Live Papa Smurf!
I drove my car to work today. My wife helped me put the windows in Friday afternoon and I had alot of last minute stuff that kept coming up right up till Sunday night.
My drivers side rear tire rubs the fender lip. They are 16X9's so i may need to run heavy duty Negative camber. I have 225 50's on there now but am switching to 245 45's in the near future. Over all a good shake down run. Thanks to Chris Striet for helping me setup my spray gun, Kurt V for helping me thru the primer stage, and Frogman for helping out on paint day.

Hmm, pics must not be working with my browser....
I guess you were too busy getting everything squared away to take pictures, but I'm sure you're going to rectify that shortly.

Looks familiar!! Are you happy with it? I like my Gulf blue but if I was doing what you just did I would have gone with a deeper (Mexico??) blue. Looks awesome though!
I picked up some Gulf racing stickers for mine at the Mitty this weekend. I got a couple of extras if you are interested. I got a card from the vendor if you want to just order. He has 12" and ~ 2". He is supposed to have something in between in a few weeks. a 4" would be perfect for the quarter windows

Mike,
I think it may have been more " Get this thing done so I can park in the garage again" than "getting it".  She is a good sport but I am testing the limits with this project.... Three months of hogging the garage and she has just about had it.
