New Shoes For Christmas!!
Got my wheels back from Al "Santa" Reed this week and had to take some pics!! I replaced my old black 6"/7" Fuchs with these polished 7"/9"'s. I can't beleive what a difference the 9's make with the 245/45/16 Yokos. Dianne Reed will be painting the center caps and sending to me when she returns from vacation. The front valence is off to be painted and as of yesterday the painter is a week past his promised completion date.
 In the four months I have owned the car i have (1) Redone the interior with new carpet and vinyl. (2) Replaced the front shocks. (3)Replaced an oil line and fixed leaks. (4)Fixed the heat(somewhat). (5)Installed new stereo.(6) Replaced hood shocks.(7) And of course new tires and rims. Next I will be replacing brake lines and adding crossed drilled rotors,readjusting(lowering) the ride height and replacing the rear fuel line. Most of my guidance/advise came from Waynes book and this BBS!

Great looking car! I'm having my wheels done by Al this winter and they will look like yours (I hope) when finished.

thanks, Al says he is busy these days and the turn around time is a little longer than normal... although he finished mine in a little over two weeks which i think is very good.
