henry thanks!

joe thanks! i like the black too. it also machines very crisply on the edge.

joe thank you!

o.k. so, here's the finished product. the lettering is a decal that was painstakingly produced by a good friend.

I knew you would remake the wheels. That tiny "mistake" would be on your mind for the rest of the build.

Now it matches the rest of the car. Have to say, it's looking pretty good.

Dave.... these wheels are so impreasive... wow they are beauties. I admire you for being a little like me and redoing them . I love that you anodized them and then post machined them, the finish is fantastic. I swear they look like the real thing. Keep up the great work.

chris, thanks buddy!!! that was the effect i was looking for. hehe.

james thanks!

bill thank you sir!

so, those front wheels needed tires. i hate doing tires 'cause it takes soooo much time and it's just a flat out dirty job. when you're done though you can come up with a pair of o.k. tires.

Dave - yes those tires are ok. You crack me up. They look great. And the mock up shots - what a phenomenal piece of workmanship. If you take this to NNL East as a WIP I'll kick myself for not going to stare and study it.
