Charlie will the new wheels have a larger lip ??

Nope. Just an increase in width. Had to be done on the inside because of the composition of the wheel. I'll post pictures before mounting the 285s on them.

It might be cheaper to find another used mirror rather than let them fix that one. The body shop that painted my car billed me $200 to repair my mirror for a dent...I was not happy cause I could have just gotten a used one for $20

Ok everyone...here's where we are as of today...

This morning involved the sealer...





And here was the first coat...



The shop is also doing video of each stage. Tomorrow will involve wetsanding with another spraying then clearcoat. The chin will get painted tomorrow as well. More to follow.

Here's where we stand as of today...









Next will be wet sanding followed by another coat. I got the 10" wheels from Weldcraft today. The 9" wheels will arrive on Thursday. If all goes well these will all be mounted on the car this weekend.

Thanks Thomas. It's going to be a busy weekend for me if everything goes according to plan. I'll be doing the carpet, covering the felt pad with black vinyl, and changing out the amps for the stereo.

Oh yeah...and adding the shifter and e-brake boots you made for me
