Spit on the ground?

I would have thought that the Quagmire smiley would have set your dirty minds off, but alas my plan to make a funny hath backfired. O well.

It was actually tire shine gel

I think they are 7 inches wide and I know they are 16 inches in diameter I have 215 65 16s on them now. I had to use half inch spacers.

Body Work Week Five.Lost photos....

I actually forgot to post these up and while looking over my thread I saw that I have body work weeks 1,2,3,4 and 6 but I forgot to give you guys 5. This was done around June/July of 2009 to date the paint still looks like new. The rustoleum I used holds up really well.

Week 5 consisted of me painting the underhood myself:

It was originally red. Here it all sanded and de greased ( it was a freaking mess)



Primed:



And Painted:





And My car without the hood:

Check these pics out of the speedometer I did a quick bench test...And this is with just two 5 way leds!!




Sorry they are soo shaky.
