That's brilliant news Joe - very well done!

Keep at it, Joe! I know I've gain a bit myself since my knee injury (MCL tear) Couldn't do much a lot of strenuous excercises as I liked this summer. I was able to resume walking back in the beginning of August. Hopefully once the weather turns colder and daylight growing shorter, I'll hit the gym on the epilipical (spelling?) machine and rowing machine. I'm hoping by then my knee will be a whole lot better so I can lose more weight. Last summer, I was down to 220 from 240 lbs. My goal is to drop down to 200 lbs. by next spring.

Oh yeah..,, I almost forgot. That's shiny!!

Waiting for Carlos with that famous Raccoon meme...

Thanks fellas! It does feel better alright. Feels like I'm movin' like a butterfly....stingin' like a bee!!

Tom: You can do it man! We should do a friggin' weight loss challenge around here somewhere.
BTW....thanks for the kudos on the Charger.

Stuart: Thank you as well potna!

Ok.....this may not seem like a whole lot of work but believe me....after FOUR friggin' paint strippings to get these wheels right I finally got it done. Additionally I sanded off all of the mold seams on the tires with 1000 grit sanding sticks and worked my way to the 12000 grit range and then chucked 'em up in the drill and spun 'em up with the sidewalls held against my blue jean pants to polish up the sidewalls. After that these two tires got a treatment to some BFGooodrich Radial T/A decals. This deep dish rear wheel/ tire combo really benefited from the white letters and it's gonna look great on the car:

Those look great. Hope mine turn out as nice.

Beautiful work!! And the proper tire! Good ol BFGs!

Thanks John and Kevin!

I’ve got all the faith in the world in you John.

Kevin: Right on bro.

Did a mock up today to see how it's all gonna look and was pretty pleased with the results. I'll have to move the front tires just a smidgen more under the fenders but other than that it's sitting exactly how I want it. The decaled white lettering and staggering the tire sizes to wider tracks in the back as well as dropping the whole car a scale 2.5" all the way around were well worth the while and gave the car the more aggressive stance and look that I was seeking. I ended up using the deeper Eckler Corvette wheels all the way around.
