Sweet!!!! Wait a minute; is your CV a daily driver or a project car? Though now that I think about it, your car weighs enough that you should have traction in the snow even with the Bullitts. Can't wait to see pics of them installed.

DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT run with those tires in the snow. Anything that wide will act like a ski instead of a tire. I have personal experience running with Bullitts and 255/50/17's in the snow and it was incredibly dangerous. I slid through more than one stop light over the course of one winter and it was only thanks to other people paying attention that I never got t-boned or hit anyone else. I did go off the highway and about 75 feet into the woods because of those tires at one point. I had to call a wrecker and have him pull my car out, and his cables almost didn't make it from up on the highway. DO NOT use those in anything more than very light snow such as what's in your pictures of the wheels. I will NEVER run with such wide tires in the winter EVER again because of my experiences and I highly recommend you don't either.

You don't have a trak lok, how'd you get both tires to spin?

They will strictly be summer wheels and tires, as my current wheel and tire setup is strictly for winter.

I have trak lok. But that smoke was photoshopped in.

[87gtVIC]

YES!!!

This weekend I may be bringing my car to the body shop to fix the little piece of the quarter panel that was crunched with the door in the accident that happened over two years ago. I "may" be going because it is being done through a friend of my dads so we will see if he is free to take on the brown blob.

The Body Work Commences!!! Week One

Ok so here is how this will go. Every few weeks i will be going into the shop and have a panel or two of my car worked on till my car is complete and show ready.

POTM Winner!



Yay, Panther of the Month!

[LTDMan83]

Sweet! I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out for ya, and I wish you the best of luck with your new Bodyman.

[87gtVIC]

Yea, this should be interesting. Saturday i am gonna go to the shop and have the entire car worked over by a couple of people and hopefully have enough time to get the entire thing primed in that one day. I am off Fridays and come home early Thursdays so that gives me plenty of time to disassemble everything i need to to make sure the body work and primer is done and shot where it needs to be.

[Brown_Muscle]

wow mang, great work! Can't wait to see it painted, congrats on winning POTM!
