TO CHROME! your car looks good as it is, but i think would look much more clean with the wheels chrome. think it would also make them rims look newer.

Slow, Johnny, slow...work has been chaotic and I've been a bit lazy on the weekends trying to recoup. It's pretty much been a blur the last year or so. I need to get on it though...it's depressing seeing all the stuff I bought sitting in the garage and collecting dust.

BTW...I'm anxious to see what you've got cooking. Judging by the recent threads you've started, sounds like you've got some sick stuff workin'.

Take it easy, brother.
