    Hey Sean,

    The rims are Centerlines Fuel. They have just the look I was going for.
    Fronts are 15 x 7 - 3.5" bs
    Rears are 15 x 8.5 with 5" bs

    Rear tires are Mickey Thompson Sportsman "I" series N50-15, the tread is over 12" with these. Fronts are BF - goodrich (can't remember what)

    I wanted 10" rims and run some drag radials - but I could not find a rim a really liked (that was affordable) in that size.

    Thanks Matt:TU:

    The paint will be Silver with black GSX stripes. Not really going clone (no GSX badges) Just like the look.........rear spoiler, front spoiler.............I like buying stuff...

    The jambs are painted and in page 1 of this thread you can see the color on the underside of the trunk. Also the radiator top plate is painted with the body color.

    Plans are to Fire her up this Thursday:pray: :pray: ................depends when my Drive shaft shows up

    I understand on the non GSX clone decision. That's the route I'm going with my Lark- I like the stripes and spoilers, just not gonna do all the badging.

    And make sure you get video of the first start up! I think I can speak for everyone by saying we all want to see/hear it!

    Any buck shot with a bow is a good one. That would be a good buck shot with a rifle.

    That dose not look like New York in the background. Where did you get that buck.

    I hunt MN We have lots of nise bucks here and lots of public land.:beers2:
