Love the new tires and wheels! That's one of the best looking newer tires I've seen. Plenty of siping for wet weather, but still a good solid rubber base to plant the power to the ground! Firewall and stealth ram look great too!
Can't wait to see you get going again on it soon! It's really getting close to spring, and I wanna see you at least driving it this summer!

Tires and wheels look real good. Don't waste time or money on one of those eastwood pliar things to roll the fender lip in. I just broke them!

Thanks for the compliments guys. Two+ years of planning on that one has paid off. I have wanted a set of 17" TT II's since they came out. Ten years ago I had a pic of a silver 79 Camaro on my desktop. It had the same wheels. I have been hooked since then. Some of the trend setters think the are used too often now. They can shove it,lol. This is my generations version of the Carager SS.

Actually me and a buddy are going half on the bid Eastwood fender roller. The $230 one. Is that the one you broke? I hope not. I was going to make some money with that thing.

God forbid I ever have to find out what the wet traction capabilities are with 500hp. In a couple pics there is snow packed into the sipping. I hope its the last time for that. I had to roll them across the snow to see what kind of footprint they had.

No I bought the cheezy pliars. They busted right away and I beat the rears up with a rubber hammer. Came out pretty good!

I ws going to do the baseball bat. Then my buddy offer to pay half so we could do his truck. The one I have posted pics of here before. It has good paint so we figure a heat gun will soften the paint and the roller will be gentle.

You think I could post a Craigslist ad to do peoples for say $50-75? Depending on how difficult the car is.

Have you ever seen the Youtube video of the guy rolling the fender lip on a white rice rocket with a baseball bat and a big old chunk of putty pops out of his fender lip? All his buddies start laughing like crazy. It's pretty funny!
