A big thanks to Jack for helping me/doing most of the work this Saturday

A big thanks to Tom for stopping by and letting me borrow his jack stands and torque wrench

A big thanks to Josh for making an appearance ;) and letting us borrow his jack and stands

A big thanks to Lee for the enormous help on my sanding job

A big thanks to Guido for coming by and also helping sand my wheels

A big thanks to one of my friends (Matt) for letting me borrow a set of his jack stands

AND!!! A major, huge, enourmous, gigantic thank you to Lee for returning to save me from an all out paranoia attack!!!!!

Pics don't do them the slightest bit of justice. They look perfect and awesome in person and in non yellow cast lights :lol: The car and wheels are dirty and now looking at the pics they make the wheels look bad. Hmmmmm they look great in person, just not in my pics :(

Again thank you to all of you! Jack thanks again for all the doing my job for me, same to Guido and Lee. And Lee, "jack stand" You will get it....... that was the stupidest ****ing thing iv ever done....

Hey Andrew, I thought you painted the wheels on your MS3 not your mom's Tribute. Looks like you already went muddin' and with that wheel gap you should be good for a trip to Moab.

Just F-in with you. Looks good.... for crappy pics.

What time did you guys finish up?

[SpeedRacer]

^^^ SOooooo mean :P


Andrew that lighting is shitty wtf laame! You sure you dont have the car jacked up still with that wheel gap?!

You didn't miss much. It was a long hard process for all of us. And Dupli-Color does make a white wheel paint. Go to pep boys and you will find it.
